A|-------------55--------22--55--------------7---44557----------------|

To finish intro play this 1 time:

G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------55--22-----------55---22---------77—44------------------------|
A|-------------55----------------55--------------77-------------------|

D|--------4--4--------------------------------------------------------|
A|--4-5-7---5--7-0-7-5-7-5-4------------------------------------------|

Then play this:

D|------77------77---77---77------55----55----55---55----55-----------|

E|--55-------55----55---55-----33-----33----33---33----33-------------|

First Chorus ends with:

G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------22-3-2H----------------------------------------------------|
A|------44----------4-----2-right into verse 2nd verse-----------------|
E|--22-----------------22---------------------------------------------|
Other Chorus’ end with:

G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------22-3-2H--------22-3-2H----------------------------------------|
A|---44-------------44------------------------------------------------|
E|-22------------22---------------------------------------------------|

Aside from the first chorus you can just ride the G out of that little ending chorus riff 
--and then A –back and forth you’ll figure it out

Solo –very similar to intro – repeat 2 x

G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------55--22-----------55---22---------77—44--------77-44-----------|
A|-------------55----------------55--------------77---------77--------|
E|--33----------------33--------------55------------55----------------|

Then play this, it locks in with the drum accents:

G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------5--2-----5-2----2-5-----7-4----7-4-----4-7--------------------|
A|----------5-------5--5-----------7-------7--7-----------------------|
E|--3----------3--------------5-------5-------------------------------|
(Repeat as needed)
