You can play the above chords as triads or open and barre chords as well if you'd like. Note that if you end up doing that, B and C might sound better as minor chords. This song has some on-and-off palm muting; you can listen to the track to figure out the exact pattern, but many of the A5s in the verses are muted until you play D5. [Intro] A5 D5 B5 A5 [Verse 1]
