There are no versions with lyrics, chords, or even in song context (references to sections),
so I'm attempting to provide that, while also adding a fuller version that sounds great if
playing solo on acoustic. The real version is played mostly on only the bottom 2 strings
(E and A). That sounds awesome, but this is an alternative style that I've started using
because it sounds the same, but way better when playing without the bass, drums, electric
effects, and smoking hot chick singing it. It is also hopefully a more knowledgable version
where after seeing the root chords, you can decide whether to add/remove the 5ths and 7ths.

Main Riffs:

Riff 1 is the same with a different F#m/E at start of 2nd measure. 
The Am/E (Am) is the quick slide or bend to the A note (if playing only 2 strings) or shown
here as a slide to Am.

The whole premise for this tab is to present fuller chords. So, I am automatically adding 1
more note (than in the actual song or other tabs), usually on th G string, and showing an
option to go even fuller (add B and G-string chords for even more tone). To be clear on
this, the current tabs show you playing the song mostly with 1 finger on the A string.
(Shake head that you grasp concept.) Here I present 2 fingers - mostly A and G strings
(accompanied by muted D string and the open E string). If you like that, mix in 3 fingers
(example, on B string for G#m/E). The optional notes make the tabs look confusing, but keep
the ideal of "more-finger chords" in mind.

* below = Double-time (repeat). Messes up the formatting to try to squish another chord in.
Basically, all chords shown are downstrokes on 8 counts/measure, where there's an astericks
below fit in a quick follow-up upstroke (usually only hitting the E and A strings). At the
end of Riffs 1a-c, do this on the last 0-11 (or use 0-x) on E and A strings at end of Riff
1x's to make record skipping sound, before connecting to a similar pass.
