Very nice. The acoustic, which sounds more like a 6- than a 12-string, comes in during the chorus and solo and just strums along quietly in the background. Great solo, obviously by Paul, that really screams. Has a standard move of Paul's when he plays a D-major arpeggio (which he likes to add the 4th to) in the E-minor tonality. Note that the D minor from the first chorus changes to a Bb for the second. Nice touch. (They are parallel chords.) Key: / = slide up = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) () = Dive wbar (/) = Release wbar Tp = Tap wplectrum Rhythm Fig. 1 (clean electric) {sot} E|--12*------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} B|--12*------------------7*----------------------| {eot} {sot} G|--12*------------------7*----------------------| {eot} {sot} D|-----------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} A|-----------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} E|-----------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} E|--5*-------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} B|--5*----------------------------------7*-------| {eot} {sot} G|--5*----------------------------------7*-------| {eot} {sot} D|-----------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} A|-----------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} E|-----------------------------------------------| {eot} Rhythm Fig. 2 (clean electric) {sot} E|--12*------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} B|--12*------------------7*----------------------| {eot} {sot} G|--12*------------------7*----------------------| {eot} {sot} D|-----------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} A|-----------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} E|-----------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} E|--5*-------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} B|--5*------------------7*-----------------------| {eot} {sot} G|--5*------------------7*-----------------------| {eot} {sot} D|-----------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} A|-----------------------------------------------| {eot} {sot} E|-----------------------------------------------| {eot} Rhythm Fig. 3 (clean electric) {sot} E|--7------------------7-------------------------| {eot} {sot} B|--8------------------7-------------------------| {eot} {sot} G|--9------------------7-------------------------| {eot} {sot} D|--9------------------7-------------------------| {eot} {sot} A|--7------------------7-------------------------| {eot} {sot} E|--0------------------0-------------------------| {eot} {sot} < -

Fig 1] [Rhy. Fig 2] A world without heroes Is like a world without sun You can't look up to anyone Without heroes [Rhy. Fig 3] And a world without heroes Is like a never ending race Is like a time without a place A pointless thing devoid of grace [Rhy. Fig 4a] Where you don't know what you're after Or if something's after you And you don't know why you don't know In a world without heroes [Rhy. Fig 5] In a world without dreams Things are no more than they seem And a world without heroes Is like a bird without wings Or a bell that never rings Just a sad and useless thing [Rhy. Fig 4b] Where you don't know what you're after Or if something's after you And you don't know why you don't know [Solo over Rhy. Fig 6] [Rhy. Fig 6 w/ End 1] [No guitar] In a world without heroes There's nothing to be It's no place
