Tuning: EADG

Intro: This part isn't in the album song, I just like to play it. match it up with
the intro. I play it so its underneath the guitar sound, then when he starts
singing I play it barely there, then on the last intro verse slide down and start
playing!

Bridge: I prefer to play the verse here over and over but the chorus works
too right before they break into the guitar solo. The notes in parenthesis
are optional depending on how you want to play it, they just mix it up a
little with the solo.
