Chords

Barre chords sound best, but power chords still work fine. I prefer to open up the G and C chords in the chorus to regular open chords, and use barre chords for everything else. The repeating Em-D riff is a bit tricky in regards to the timing, but with practice, it's not hard to figure out. Riff 1, which I indicated where to play in the chorus, is:
e|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|
G|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
A|----3-----2-----0---------|
E|----------------------3---|
Riff 2, which I indicated where to play in the chorus, is:
e|--------------------------|
B|--------------------------|
G|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
A|--------------------------|
E|-3--0--3--5--6--6--6--5--3|
