for the verse :
during the first verse sean kinda plucks around these chords on the electric
and jon just plays a low B on the E string with everything else muted
in the second verse sean has a riff with the Emaj7 and E shapes
and jon strums the the B power chord
then plays B – Emaj7 – E at the end of every other line
listen for it and its really easy to tell what they play : )
B Emaj7 E
E | – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B | – – – – – – – – – – – – |
G | – 8 – – 8 – – – – 9 – – |
D | – 9 – – 9 – – – – 9 – – |
A | – 9 – – 7 – – – – 7 – – |
E | – 7 – – – – – – – – – – |
the rest of the song is pretty much just straight – forward jamming!
enjoy!
