then repeat what ever needed until the next part I play on the high e string e-14-15-14-12-14s12-12-12-12-10- im not sure about hammer ons or pull offs if there is any but if so please speak up and correct me e-9-10-9-7-9s7-7-7-7-5 i'm not sure about those but seems close. The last part of the song that changes is the bridge or what ever u call it it goes A, D, F, C and u play A D F by hitting it on the bar chord then pm it....then C is play with the strumming pattern of the riffs above. Then all repeats the ending changes a little to he goes from E ,to G then f#,E, D
