I haven't had much time to listen to the song but what I can tell you... when it goes into the chorus "funny the way it is..."

The progression that I'm hearing goes... C-G-B.. then to another chord but I cant figure it out yet.. Hmm doesnt really help but? Hopefully somebody else can help me out here.

I'm hearing Am G G F for the verse, C G G F, for the chorus. What do you guys use to write out the tabs?

Yeah the Bm seems to work if you play the power chord, just don't add the extra note and play a full Bm or it sounds wrong.

I'm not great at inputting stuff in tab, but that'll get you in the ball park.
Alternatively, if you want to strum while sounding those notes

If you guys put your text tabs into the Code function it makes them easy to read because they're all even. Like this:

Code: Select all

Verse
E------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------
G------9-9-9--5-7-4-7-7-4-5---------------------------
D--------------------------------7---------------------
A------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------

G-------- 2----0--------------2----2--------------------------
D---------2----0-------------------3---------------------------

E---------------3-------------------1---------------------------

Edit: I didn't actually take the time to fix the tabs, just showing how it works.
