    B|-2-3-2--| Note: This part right before the outro begins at the end

    D|--------| A, Asus, A
    A|--------|
  • E|--------|x1
     
    Note: This next part begins during the word "hind," and
  • is played in the background until the lyrics end. Listen very closely
    for the rhythm.

    The last bit of the song is mostly fast strumming on the rhythm guitar
  • while the 2nd guitar just plays variations on the notes it's been playing.
     
    Notes: The rhythm guitar consists of an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar.
  • The electric guitar covers up the acoustic towards the end.
     
    The 2nd guitar of the outro sounds like an organ synth, but it is probably
  • an electric guitar with its tone low, some slight distortion and is played on a small
    with the volume maxed.
     
  • The basic chords for the song are:
    Verse - Bmin D Aadd9 G
    Chorus- A G D A
  • Em G D A
    The interlude matches the verse and the outro matches the chorus.
