NOTES:
* The song, obviously, starts with the intro. The intro is played through
a couple times and then the song goes directly into the chorus. Turning on
a low-gain distortion would not be a bad idea here, because that seems to be
what Tony (and probably Stephan) is using here.
* The intro is the first verse, too. Just a side note.
* The first verse is all chords, and then back into another chorus.
* The second chorus goes straight into the bridge. This is the "I liked the
way it was before" part.
* The bridge goes directly into the breakdown, which is the part where Tony
starts soloing over top.
* The breakdown is interrupted back into another verse w/ chords.
* This verse w/ chords is interrupted by Stephan's intro fingerpicking verse.
* This verse finally ends and goes right back into another chorus still in normal time.
* After the "I'll be your crystal baller, I will show you everything," the time changes.
There is less emphasis on the 587555/x0321x chord. This is the same beat the solo is
played to.
Enjoy!
