In this case a Marshall or Bogner would be preferred over a Fender to get that "clank" in the top end (but that's just my opinion). A deep (non-spring) reverb is also used in the solo. Legend: p - pull off h - hammer on ^ - bend note / or \ - slide x - mute Intro e-|----------------------------------6----------------------------6-------| B-|--6h7-----6------6h7p6------------7-----------6h7p6------------7-------| G-|--6h8-----6------------8--6-------8----6------------6--8-------8----6--| D-|--6h8-----6------------------8----8----6------------------8----8----6--| A-|--6--------------------------6----------------------------6------------| E-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| e-|-------------------6-----------| B-|--6h7p6------------7-----------| G-|--------8--6-------8----6------| D-|--------------8----8----6------| A-|--------------6----------------| E-|-------------------------------| Verse ("Wish I was...") e-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-|--6h7------6----------6h7------6---------------------------------------| G-|--6h8------6----------6h8------6-----------6------6------6-6-x-x-------| D-|--6h8------6----------6h8------6-----------6------6------6-6-x-x-------| A-|--6-------------------6--------------------4------4------4-4-x-x-------| E-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| e-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-|--7--------6----6h7p6--------------------6-------------6h7-----6-------| G-|--8--------6----------8--6---------------6-------------6h8-----6-------| D-|--8--------6-------------------8---8-----6-------------6h8-----6-------| A-|--6-------------------------6------6-------------------6---------------| E-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| Pre-Chorus ("Masochist...") e-|----------------------2---2-2-2------------------| B-|----------------------2---2-2-2------------------| G-|--6------6------6-6---3---3-3-3---6----6--6------| D-|--6------6------6-6---4---4-4-4---6----6--6------| A-|--4------4------4-4---4---4-4-4---4----4--4------| E-|----------------------2---2-2-2------------------| Chorus ("You don't need to bother...") e-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-|--7----------7---6--------------7----------x-x----------------(7h9)----| G-|--8----------8---6--------------8----------x-x--7----7----7------------| D-|--8----------8---6--------------8----------x-x--8----8----8------------| A-|--6-----------------------------6----------x-x--8----8----8------------| E-|------------------------------------------------6----6----6------------| e-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-|--7-------7--7---6-----------------------------------------------------| G-|--8-------8--8---6-----------------------------------------------------| D-|--8-------8--8---6--------------9-----9-----9-9--------11---11---11----| A-|--6-----------------------------9-----9-----9-9--------11---11---11----| E-|--------------------------------7-----7-----7-7---------9----9----9----| Bridge ("I wish I had a reason...") e-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-|--7----7---7-7---------------------------------------------------------| G-|--8----8---8-8----7----7---7-7-----------------------------------------| D-|--8----8---8-8----8----8---8-8----9----9---9-9-----11---11--11-11------| A-|--6---------------8----8---8-8----9----9---9-9-----11---11--11-11------| E-|------------------6---------------7----7---7-7------9----9---9--9------| Solo (with lots of reverb) e-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-|---9p7p6--7~-----------6h7--6~-----------------------------------------| G-|------------------6h8------------8~--------8~------------6-------------| D-|---------------------------------------------------6h8--------6h8~-----| A-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| E-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| e-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-|------------------------------------9^11^9----7--9p7-----9p7-----------| G-|---------------------------6h8~----------------------8~------8~---6h8~-| D-|---\6p4h6p4--------4h6/8-----------------------------------------------| A-|--------------4h6------------------------------------------------------| E-|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| *Song Structure* Intro Verse Pre-Chorus Chorus Intro Verse Pre-Chorus Bridge Chorus Solo Intro Verse Pre-Chorus Chorus x 2 Intro, with a final D#/Eb minor chord www.TAB6.com
