Chords

Notes about strumming patterns: X = percussive/fully muted strum, x + arrow = Palm Muting. Begin the song with X DU = beat 8 in first pattern. When repeating it, Malcolm plays the X, Angus doesn't. Hold the strum at the end of the bar in the next two patterns (play X U on beat 8 of first pattern to lead into second pattern).
