Tuning: Drop C (C G C F) ----- Info: ----- Please note that the bass doesn't only copy the guitar. Specially in the "Bridge B" part you can hear, that it is not played like the guitar. And yes, the song is tuned in Drop C. If you don't believe this, check out "www.crissoliva.net". Look under "about Criss" and then "Gear", scroll down to the bottom and then you will see the truth. ------ Riffs: ------ Intro/Re-Intro S S E S S E S S E Q S S E S S E S S E Q F|-|---------------------|---------------------| C|4|---------------------|-----6-----5-----3---| enter with G|4|-0-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-3-5-|-5-5---5-5---5-5---3-| the drums C|-|---------------------|---------------------| Verse E E E E E E E S S E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E S S E E E E S S S S E E F|-|-------------------|-----------------|-------------------|---------------------| C|4|-------------------|-----------------|-------------------|---------------------| G|4|-----6-----5---6s8-|-----6-----5---3-|-----6-----5---6s8-|-----6---6s8-8-8-8s6-| C|-|-0-0---0-0---0-----|-0-0---0-0---0---|-0-0---0-0---0-----|-0-0---0-------------| Pre-Chorus Q.
