Chords
I recommend using barred E chords in the chorus (7th fret).
I'll tab out a 'simplified' version of the instumental at the bottom.
(it's probably not the official way, just how I chose to play it to go along with the track)
Either count at 82 bpm or 163 bpm - whichever you prefer.
Each time a part first appears, I've listed how many counts each chord is played for too.
Hopefully this helps more than it hinders.
If you would also like to play the little bass slides that happen after the A chords in the verses,
I play it like so:
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
