and then stops for an equal amount of time.

in these gaps guitar two plays these in order

The next bit is probably also on bass but it's fun to
play so i'll put in in anyway

having looked at other tabs, they dont seem to be quite right, so here is the version i play.

verse 1 - lead guitar

this is played only once at the start of the verse

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-12-12-12-12-12------12-12-12-12-12----9--12-12-12-12-12-----10p9-7-5------|

A|-------------------10------------------------------------10----------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

chorus- this is the part where other tabs ont sound right to me, this seems closer in my opinion

rhythm guitar

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----5-4------5-4----------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------4-5------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-0-0------0-0--------------------------------------------------------------|

thats all the rhythm guitar plays in the chorus, doesnt sound right by itself, but when
together with the lead it sounds perfect!

lead-chorus

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----5-4-----5-4---------5-4-----5-4---------------------------------------|
D|-2-2-----2-2-----4-5------------------4-5----------------------------------|

D|-2-2-----2-2-----4-5------------------4-5----------------------------------|
