    [INTRO]
  • in the intro and chorus chords, there's a small theme that goes like this:
    e-----------------------------------------------|
    B---2---2---3-2-0-2-0---------------------------|
  • G---------------------2-------------------------|
    D-----------------------------------------------|
    A-----------------------------------------------|
  • E-----------------------------------------------|
    this might be played on a different guitar, but if you're playing solo,
    try to play this with the chords in the chorus. Not too hard with the A chord, but
  • in F#m
