Tuning: Good Ole Drop D (D,A,D,G,B,e)

The verses for this song are very straight forward. Its just 
a rhythm pattern of B minor, G5, A2, D2 along with a little bit 
of lead underneath. The quality makes it a little hard to pick 
up everything but I got most of it.

Intro(00:02)This is how the whole verse is until the pre-chorus.

     “How the hell’d we -wind up like -this       -Why weren’t we able?”

            Bm              G5             A2             D2 

Underneath the verse there is a finger picked acoustic and a little lead. 
This is pretty close to it but it mostly just improvising with the chords.

For the electric lead you can play these notes. The first note is 
actually what really starts the song.

ake out but it sounds like this.

Solo(01:48) There are two guitars two this, one plays the lower 
notes and one mimics with the same notes just higher up the neck. 
With the hammer on and pull off together there is a slight hold 
on the 2 note or C# then you hammer on and pull off, trust me you’ll 
hear it.
