[NOTE: Use this rythym and chord progression when playing all verses and the first chorus]
Tab Key: s = slide / = long downward slide b = bend (5b6 means bend the string at the 5th fret to make the note the string would make at the 6th fret with no bend) r = release bend (H) = harmonic h = hammer on p = pull off ^ = let note ring while making the note "vibrate"
In the following places where "Riff 1" is listed, play this:
G2 D B------10------10------10------10h12p10----------10------10-----10--- G-9h11----9h11----9h11----9h11----------11--9h11----9h11---9h11------
