First of all, here are the chords. (All barre, but it sounds much better if you don't play the high e string on the e-shaped ones. Listen to the song; they keep it pretty low.) A - 577655 B - x2444x D - x5777x C# - x4666x G - 355433 The single-note riff (spelled with lowercase) is A-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2----------------------------------------------- E-----------------------3-3-3-3--------------------------------------- The main chord RIFF (uppercase) is the same thing, but with barre chords. (That is, D C# B G) riffx2 riff riff I don't know where I've come from I don't know where I'm off to riff riff I need to find a way out I need you to help me find it RIFF Exit Flagger x4 A G * I'm not going to race you today riff riff I need a life of sameness I don't compete in anything riff riff I promise to leave you one of these days I promise to leave real soon RIFF Exit Flagger x4 A G * I'm not going to race you today D G I promise to leave you x4 Then through the solo it's just the RIFF four times, an A, a G, and the riff eight times. * Instead of A then G, you can play A (x0222x), B, Db, D instead which follows the bass line instead of the guitar. (You can play the A that way anytime, but I think it's easier to slide to the G if you go ahead and play it on the fifth fret.) Comment and miscellaneous T go to michael.davidson@the-matrix.com Enjoy!
