    ^ (This is kind of a grace note played as you move your
  •  
    fingers from the G#5 to F#5.)
     
  • The transition from verse to chorus goes:
     
    e-------------------
  • B-------------------
    G-------------------
    D----4-----4--------
  • A--2---2-1---1-2----
    E-------------------
     
  • The chorus is just two note power chords:
     
    G#5 F#5 E5
  • G#5 E5 F#5
     
    The violin part is basically four notes played in different orders.
  •  
     
    e---11---9---------- is the first riff; the violin plays these notes
  • B-----------12---9-- throughout the rest of the song.
     
     
  • CLOSER YOU ARE
     
     
  • The verse is just a change between C and G barre chords.
     
    The chorus is G C Bm Bb A.
  •  
    For "Now you can see the boys" play C then B. (It might be C then G,
     
  • I'm not really sure.)
     
    The "dreaming, scheming" riff is this:
  •  
     
    e-----0-0-0-------0-0-0-----------------------------------------------
  • B---0-------0---0-------0-----0-0-0-------0-0-0-----------------------
    G---------------------------0-------0---0-------0---------------------
    D---------------------------------------------------------------------
  • A-0-----------0-------------------------------------------------------
    E-------------------------0-----------0-------------------------------
     
  • The last part goes like this:
     
    C G Csus2
  •  
    e--3-----3----3---------------3----------------------3----------------
    B--5----------3---------------3----3--3--3-----------3----------------

  •  
    LITTLE WHIRL
     
  • The verse riff is: D A G E G A
     
    The chorus is: G A
  •  
    End on a D.
     
  •  
    MY SON COOL
     
  •  
    The intro is: B D
     
  • B D E
     
    The verse is: A D A F# E F# D B D
  •  
    And then repeat the intro.
     
  • PIMPLE ZOO
     
    The first part is E then G.
  •  
    The break in between the two main parts is B G# D#.
     
  • Then the final part is E then Db.
     
     
  • A SALTY SALUTE
     
     
  • The guitar part to this is simply D and E. However, I think it sounds
     
    better to follow the baseline, especially if you're just playing alone.
  •  
    In that case, the chords are: D A D G F# E F# G.
     
  •  
    WATCH ME JUMPSTART
     
  • The opening riff is 3 barre chords: E F# A F# E
     
    For the verse, I play the same chords, only leave the low E string open
  •  
    and alternate it with the chords like this:
     
  •  
    e-0-----0----------2-----2----------5------
    B-0-----0----------2-----2----------5------
  • G-1-----1----------3-----3----------6------
    D-2-----2----------4-----4----------7------
    A-2-----2----------4-----4----------7------
  • E---0-0---0-0-...----0-0---0-0-...----0-0--
     
     
  • Followed by the main riff.
     
    For the "Shoot me down part" play E followed by A.
  •  
    Then, for "Cause I won't be around" play a Dbm. The little riff that
     
  • goes on there is just the B string; while making the Dbm, lift your
     
    middle finger on and off, like this B-5-5-5-4-5. The rest of the bridge
  •  
    goes like this:
     
  • F# E
     
    As you run from the places you love I remember the faces that cry
  • C D C
     
    And they're pulling me back so I have to die
