Did you satisfy your greed, get what you need?

-----Notes and tabs-----

The following is how I do it. Ignore it or use it, it's up to you.

 intro
this part is actually two guitars, and it's complicated. it's impossible to play all the
notes with five fingers and six strings. fake it. here's a guideline.

| 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . | 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . |
e|-------3---------|-----------------|
b|-3p1---1---------|-3p1---3---1-----|
G|-0---0-0---------|-0---0-0-----0---|
D|-3-----2---------|-3-----2-------2-| x2
A|-3-----3---------|-3-----3---------|
E|-----------------|-----------------|


Csus2/4: x3303x
C: x32013

 verse
Hammer on the b string in the Am. Listen to the song, you'll hear it.
Both G/B chords are in there for the effect of a walking bassline. The first one is a
chord, but can be played as a straight G. The second one is a passing chord and could be
entirely.

 frustrated
Palm mute this entire section, and only play the lower two or three notes of the chord
the last F where you can really build it into full chords for the chorus.

 precborus
The first two lines are one measure each, in 5/4. Alternate downstrokes and upstrokes on
beat / offbeat so that the beat is always a downstroke. You don't hit the strings every
and every time isn't a chord. Oh, and play the F with your thumb on the bass and your
on the high e and b strings. That way you can go from a psuedobarre to a note and
string, and then pick up your fingers so you're just muting the strings when necessary.
the partial tab is this:

| 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . |
e|-1-0---1---x-1---0---|
b|-1-1---1---x-1---1---|
G|-2-2---2---x-2---0---|
D|-3-3---3---x-3---2---|
A|-3-3---3---x-3---3---|
E|-1-1---1---x-1-------|

 FC
The whole section is the measure of 5/4 tabbed above, played twice, then one full 4/4
of F, one full 4/4 bar of C, and two full 4/4 bars of G. Then into the chorus.

 cborus
Straight chords. Nothing fancy. Listen to the record for the rhythm or whatever else you
need to hear.
