) - bend ---> if a Q appears to the right of this, indicates a 1/4 bend.
Hence, 4)Q means a string om the 4th fret is
bending by 1/4; 4)H means a string on the 4th fret is bending
by 1/2; 9)F means a Full bend on a string on the 9th fret.

if you see 4)H( this meansbend the string on the 4th fret by 1/2
then bring the string back to original tone.
h - hammer the string
p - pull the string
[*#] - play a certain riff a certain number of times (located right after the riff; used
because of the lack of space on the tab)
*NOTE: This song mainly cosists of strumming chords.
To make things easier, and less repetative, I've added which chords to strum.
The riffs are also included.
Em |0-----------------| |0-----------------| |0-----------------| |2-----------------| |2-----------------| |0-----------------| ^------>Strum this first then, C |0-----------------| |1-----------------| |0-----------------| |2-----------------| |3-----------------| |------------------| ^------>strum this.
The above is carried out 4 times. Then...
F |1---------------------------------| |1---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |3---------------------------------| |3---------------------------------| |1---------------------------------| |^---->strum this | | | |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |--5h7--5-----5h7--5-----5h7---5---| |----------7----------7------------| |----------------------------------| Em |0---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |^---->strum this | | | |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |--5h7--5-----5h7--5-----5-h7-p5---| |----------7----------7------------| |----------------------------------| Am |0---------------------------------| |1---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |^---->strum this | | | |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |-----------------------------4----| |--5h7--5-----5h7--5-----5-7-------| |----------7----------7------------| |----------------------------------| D |2---------------------------------| |3---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |^---->strum this | | | |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |--5h7--5-----5h7--5-----5h7---5---| |----------7----------7------------| |----------------------------------| F |1---------------------------------| |1---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |3---------------------------------| |3---------------------------------| |1---------------------------------| |^---->strum this | | | |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |--5h7--5-----5h7--5-----5h7---5---| |----------7----------7------------| |----------------------------------| Em |0---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |^---->strum this | | | |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |--5h7--5-----5h7--5-----5-h7-p5---| |----------7----------7------------| |----------------------------------| Am |0---------------------------------| |1---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |----------------------------------| ^---->strum less frequently
At this point, you will pretty much start at the beginning. However, the play is
a little extended. The once-strum echoing-delay sound is the same as the strummed
chords played at the same time. Then we get to the bridge:
C |0-----------------| |1-----------------| |0-----------------| |2-----------------| |3-----------------| |------------------| ^------>strum this slowly once with delay D |2-----------------| |3-----------------| |2-----------------| |0-----------------| |------------------| |------------------| ^------>strum this slowly once with delay Em |0-----------------| |0-----------------| |0-----------------| |2-----------------| |2-----------------| |0-----------------| ^------>strum this slowly once with delay C |0-----------------| |1-----------------| |0-----------------| |2-----------------| |3-----------------| |------------------| ^------>strum this slowly once with delay
Repeat these above four chords 3 times along with acoustic strumming of the same chords.
Then...
F |1---------------------------------| |1---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |3---------------------------------| |3---------------------------------| |1---------------------------------| |^---->strum this | | | |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |--5h7--5-----5h7--5-----5h7---5---| |----------7----------7------------| |----------------------------------| Em |0---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |^---->strum this | | | |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |--5h7--5-----5h7--5-----5-h7-p5---| |----------7----------7------------| |----------------------------------| Am |0---------------------------------| |1---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |^---->strum this | | | |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |-----------------------------4----| |--5h7--5-----5h7--5-----5-7-------| |----------7----------7------------| |----------------------------------| D |2---------------------------------| |3---------------------------------| |2---------------------------------| |0---------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |^---->strum this | | | |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |--5h7--5-----5h7--5-----5h7---5---| |----------7----------7------------| |----------------------------------|
Continue the above four chords and riffs until song fades out.
