Because of the effects the lead guitar for the chorus and pre-chorus
was hard to figure out so those parts may not be exactly right but
they work well for me.
u can play this song one fret up and half a step down too but
I find this to be easier.
~=let ring
\=slide down
/=slide up
h=hammer on
p=pull off
