I think that josh actually plays this in standard C tuning, but i've tabbed it in
E, i.e. EADGBe, to save you the effort of re-tuning.

Main Riff:

---3----| x how ever many times josh plays it

Listen to the record for the rythyms, as it changes throughout the verse, but it's
just this chord.

Chorus:

Note - 5^7 means bend 5 up to 7

REPEAT SECTION 6 to close...

I love the simplicity of this song. I would recommend listening closely
to the verses to get the rhythms just right. They often mimic Josh's
vocal melody.
Please rate & comment.
