Chords
While this is primarily based on the recorded version, I've added a few variations here and there (mostly
centered around the trills) based on how Mark plays it live. If you think this needs fewer/more trills go
ahead and play it how you like; you're your own person and you can do whatever ya want :)
Also I wrote most of this tab before realizing that there's a way to notate a trill other than just writing in
a bunch of hammer-on's and pull-off's. I was too lazy to go back and change everything but I'm sure all you
smart cookies can figure out. Enjoy!

[Verse 2]
When Mark plays this live, he accents certain notes by dipping his whammy bar. I'll mark those notes with a (w), but if you wanna play this verse the way it sounds on the album, just ignore the (w)'s and palm mute everything. e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----2-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|-2h4---4w---4-2-0---0-2w---4-2h4p2-0---0-------------0-2h4---0w---2h4--| A|------------------2------------------2---0w------0-2-------2-----------| E|---------------------------------------------0h2-----------------------| e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-2h4-4-2-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------4w---4-2h4p2-0-----0-2w---4-2-0-----0-------------0-2h4---0w-----------7-9-7| A|------------------------0h2--------------0h2---0w----0-0h2-------2----------7-9------| E|---------------------------------------------------2--------------------7-9----------|
[Chorus 2]
It's hard to write out the timing here so you'll have to just listen closely. Sorry, friend. e|-----------------s14-14-14-14-14-14\12-12-10------------------------10----10-/14-14-14-14-14-\12-| B|---------------------------------------------12-10-7--7/10-10-12-10----12------------------------| G|-----------7---7-/11-11-11-11-11-11\9--9--7-------------------------7-----7--/11-11-11-11-11-\9--| D|-----7-9-7---9-------------------------------9--7--4--4/7--7--9--7-----9-------------------------| A|-7-9---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-10-------------------| B|----12-10-10-10-10/12-| G|-7--------------------| D|----9--7--7--7---7/9--| A|----------------------| E|----------------------| e|-------------10----10-/14-14-14-14-14-12-10----------10-/14-17-17-17-14-17-19-14---\12-10----10-12-14-| B|-12-10-12-10---12---------------------------12-10-12--------------------------------------12----------| G|-------------7-----7--/11-11-11-11-11-9--7-----------7--/11-14-14-14-11-14-16-11---\9--7-----7--9--11-| D|-9--7--9--7----9----------------------------9--7--9---------------------------------------9-----------| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
[Verse 3]
I'm not sure how to convey what to do for the dead notes, but it's essentially a slow, sweepy upstroke. If that doesn't make sense (which would be fair) watch a live version and you'll see what I mean. e|-19-17-14--(14)-14-12-10----10-12--(12)-/14-12-10----10-----X-----------12/14---------X---10/12-14-| B|------------X------------12---------X-------------12----10-(10)\7-10-12-------12-15--(15)----------| G|-16-14-11--(11)-11-9--7-----7--9---(9)-/11-9--7-----7------X------------9/11---------X----7/9--11-| D|------------X------------9----------X-------------9-----7--(7)-\4-7--9--------9--12--(12)----------| A|------------X-----------------------X-----------------------X-------------------------X------------| E|------------X-----------------------X-----------------------X-------------------------X------------| e|-19-17-14--(14)-14-12-10----10-12--(12)-/14-12-10----10-----X-----------12-14---------X--------------------| B|------------X------------12---------X-------------12----10-(10)\7-10-12-------12-15--(15)-15---15-15-15-15-| G|-16-14-11--(11)-11-9--7-----7--9---(9)--/11-9--7-----7------X-----------9--11---------X--------------------| D|------------X------------9----------X-------------9-----7--(7)-\4-7--9--------9--12--(12)-12---12-12-12-12-| A|------------X-----------------------X-----------------------X-------------------------X--------------------| E|------------X-----------------------X-----------------------X-------------------------X--------------------|
[Chorus 3]
Part of this section sounds palm muted, but it's not consistent enough to tab out. Play whatever sounds best. e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------12-10h12p10-----------------------------------12-10h12p10-----------------| G|-----------7~---9-11-------------11-9--9-7---------------7~---9-11-------------11-9--7-9-7-----| D|-----7-9-7----9----------------------------9-7-----7-9-7----9------------------------------9-7-| A|-7h9-------------------------------------------7h9---------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------12-10h12p10---------------------------------------10------------------| G|-----------7~---9h11-------------11-9--7-9-7----------------7~--7-9h11----9-7-9-7----------| D|-----7-9--7---9------------------------------9-7-----7-9--7---9-------------------9-7------| A|-7h9---------------------------------------------7h9---------------------------------9-7---| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7-| [Bridge] D U D U D e|-7--7-----7--7----------| B|-7--7-----7--8----------| G|-7--7-----7--9-----7tr9-| D|-9--9---9----9----------| A|-9--9---9----7----------| E|-7--7---7---------------| X4

[Outro]
The notes on the low E are what Laura's playing on bass. I think it sounds cool to play both parts at once,
but if you wanna stick to Mark's part just mute the low E.
