This is a killer song and it is also very easy to play. There may be some mistakes here because I posted it without listening to it while I was writing but I don't think so. I also figured out the piano part (and arranged it for guitar) and the guitar solo but I'm not gonna post them for the moment. Anyway, they're both fairly easy and are played using the E major scale, which is, of course, spelled E F# G# A B C# D#. During the verse I play E/G# which I've seen presented often with impossible fingerings such as 422100. So, I either play an open position E chord and have somebody (possibly a bass player) play a G# note or I play arpeggios throughout the verse and then strum the chords in the chorus. If I play arpeggios, I usually play: E(022100), B(x2444x), F#m(xx4222), E/G# (xx6450) and A(x07650). This is the way I play it but of course it is just one of the many ways to do it, so feel free to change it around and experiment and maybe let me know if you have comments, corrections, suggestions or any request...
