I've found that there are two ways to play this- in standard tuning with a capo at the
fret and in open G. I prefer playing it in open G, but playing it in standard with the
allows for easier soloing.
VERSION 1
Tuning: EADGBe (Standard), with a capo at the third fret.
Main Riff/Chorus/Solo Rhythm (in relation to the capo):
E------------------------| B------------------3--2--| G------------------2--2--| D--------2---------4--2--| A-----------2------------| E--0h3h4------3p0--------|
Then on the last time through:
E----------------------| B-------------------2--| G-------------------2--| D--------2----------2--| A-----------2----------| E--0h3h4------3p0------|
Verses:
[G] [C/G] [F/G]
Pre-Chorus:
[Em] [D] [C] [D]
[Em] [D] [C] [D]
[Em] [A] [B] [C] [D]
Bridge:
[D] [C]
The chords listed above are the actual pitch, not the chord shapes in relation to the
The chord shapes in relation to the capo for the verses are E A/E D/E, meanwhile the
of the chords can be played normally by barring them.
VERSION 2

D------------------0--0--| B------------------3--1--| G--------0---------0--0--| D-----------0------3--2--| G--0h3h4------3p0--0--0--| D------------------------|
