Verse Chords the key to this part is to alternate a Bm with a plain ol' second-fret barre (222222) and then end with a G (355433) Bm Bm (222222) Bm Bm (222222) Bm Bm (222222) G G Chorus Picking okay, now that you've mastered that part, here is my rough idea of the picking that goes on in the chorus. e -------0------------0------------0------------0---------| B ---3-----3------3-----3------3-----3------3-----3-------| G -----2-----2--0---0-----0--1---1-----1--0---0-----0-----| D -0------------------------------------------------------| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ in some repetitions of the chorus picking this part is omitted and a G chord is struck, usually to lead back into the verse chords. As far as I can tell, the really fast parts are the same as the verse chords, only faster and choppier. if anyone feels like cleaning up or adding to this, please feel free.
