Verse 2 is the same played twice, except on the second time round, it is not palm muted.
Second Chorus.
This is played much faster than the first chorus with more open strings.
Again, listen for timing and rhythym.

Verse 3 is the same as verse 2 but only played once.
Chorus three is the same as chorus two but played very softly, slowly building up.
The build up to the final chorus is the first part of the chorus played twice:
[E] [E] [E] [E] [A] [A] [E] [E] [E] [E] [E] [E] [A] [A] [E] [E] [A] [A] [E] [E] [B] [B] [B] [B]
The final chorus is the same as chorus two, much heavier and faster.
Thankyou, hope this helps. This is my first tab.
