Use distortion for all parts except the verse and pre-chorus parts.
Hey I've say loads of versions on the web and none of them sound quite right
so I've decided to post how I think the song is played.
The solo is a modified version of one already on here. Have fun.
Key:
x = Dead Mute the Chord i.e. press the fret down very lightly.
~ = Hold note, one of the ~ = hold note for one second.
p = Pull off.
^ = Bend note up.
