Pre-chorus

Chorus (end chorus with:)

Solo Rythm - Guitar I or II

E5VII - 2 B5 - 4 strum A5 - 4 strum B5 - 4 strum A5 - 2 strum G5 - 1 A5 - 1 F#5 - 4 G5 - 2 E5 - 1 F#5 - 1 G5 - 2 E5 - 2 A5 - 2 F#5 - 2 (Numbers after the chord indicates the amount of bars the chord durates. One bar is four beats. I.e. E5 - 2 mean play an E5-chord (power of course)

And maintain it for eight beats. Simple as hell.) Solo (pick really fast up to I) I

7 7 7 9 9 9 11 11 11 12 12 12 13 13 13
7 7 7 9 9 9 10 10 10

Actual Solo: (Well I'd say it's more of a high pitch guitar version

of Rob's vocals.)
11 12 11 11
14 12 11 12 14 11 12p11p9

Repeat this once but with the pull-off-trio twice (-12p11p9-12p11p9-) (One note every 2nd beat) more to the right --

Maintain last note until singing stops.

Rythm Guitar (K.K. I think) plays plays Riff 2 four times and lead guitar

joins on 2nd time (drums 'n bass enters 3rd time). When this done end with a long-maintained B5 power chord and the tempo drops to guess what.)

Spoken part: Play intro riff eight times.

After spoken part: Riff 1 (Tempo rise of course)

Then comes Pre-Chorus riff TWICE

And finally: Chorus riff many times before fading away.
