Chords

Big credit to this tab (https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/paramore/pool_tabs_2054738) All parts are taken from this tab, I only rearranged them and added a few. A full tab for Pool Separated into 2 separate guitars Guitar 1's parts are based of what Mason Clifford is playing in his cover (Link at bottom) Guitar 2's parts are based of what I would play from the song All parts are interchangeable, e.g. playing G1's Intro but G2's Chorus, this tab's just here to give you the parts. Effects Used: -Reverb -Phaser -Overdrive -Chorus (There are probably more but this is the basics)
Guitar 1 (Lead/Harder)

[Intro]
Strummed once on the & of 1 then Reverb plays remaining &'s beats (Full example at bottom)*
