Chorus 2 is the same as the first. Just start doing all downstrokes on the last chord right before the bridge
Bridge:
lead:
e|-------3~---5~---3~---0~--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------3~-------------3~------all-x2--------------------------------------------------|
G|--2/4--4~-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
rhythm (all downstrokes):
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------all-x2----then-------|
D|--5--5--5--5 5- 5--5--5--5-5----------------------------------------------------5~--|
A|--3--3--3--3 3- 2--2--2--2-2--2--2--2--2-2--5--5--5--5-5------------------------3~--|
E|------------------------------0--0--0--0-0--3--3--3--3-3----------------------------|
then the lead guitar plays the intro riff a few times ("you were easy on my eyes...")
and the rhythm just lets the C5 power chord ring out twice
Final Chorus:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------5~---xxxx----------5~---xxxx------------------------5--x6----------------5--x10--|
A|--5~--5~--3~---xxxx--2~--2~--3~---xxxx---2--x6--4--x6--5--x6--3------2--x6--4--x6--3-------|
E|--3~--3~-------xxxx--0~--0~-------xxxx---0------2------3-------------0------2--------------|
Outro: rhythm does:
e|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|-----------------------|
D|--5-5-5--(slide down)--|
A|--3-3-3----------------|
E|-----------------------|
and the lead just does the chords from the 2nd verse
It's probably far from perfect but there you go! Please send me any corrections or feedback
