The riff during “we’re not doing wrong” needs to blend together well, or it won’t sound right. Also, the G# chord where it 7th fret on A and D is supposed to be written that way. I’m not sure exactly what chord they play there, but the one I put down sounds pretty close. e|--------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------| G|-------------------7-6-4-2-4--422-----------| D|----7-77777-7-x77--7-6-4-2-4--422-----------| 2x A|----7-77777-7-x77--5-4-2-0-2--200-----------| E|----5-55555-4-x55---------------------------| p.m. ---- - Verse *Note: Palm mute the notes on the E string and play the notes on the D string in between. e|-----------------------------| B|-----------------------------| G|-----------------------------| D|--7-7-7-7-9-9-6-6------------| 8x A|-----------------------------| E|---5-5-5-5-7-7-4-4-----------| p.m. - - - - - - - - Pre-Chorus *Note: It helps to use more gain here because of the palm muted chords. e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------7-------7-------7-------7-------7-------7-------7------------------------| D|----77---7--77---7--77---7--77---7--77---7--77---9--77---7-7-9-9-9-9-9----------| A|----55---7--55---7--55---7--55---7--55---7--55---9--55---7-7-9-9-9-9-9----------| E|---------5-------5-------5-------5-------5-------7-------5-5-7-7-7-7-7----------| p.m. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- This time, don’t pause and do a longer pick slide into the chorus. Chorus *Note: This time, play the second half of this riff (the part on the A string) an extra during the second “we’re not going to get along.” e|--------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------| G|-------------------7-6-4-2-4--422-----------| D|----7-77777-7-x77--7-6-4-2-4--422-----------| 2x A|----7-77777-7-x77--5-4-2-0-2--200-----------| E|----5-55555-4-x55---------------------------| p.m. ---- - Bridge *Note: This is the part where Nick does his rap-type thing. You can either play it as shown or split it into two guitar parts. Guitar A would play the rhythm, which would be palm muting the chords A5, E5, and D5. Guitar B would play the single notes shown in between chords on my tab. I think WWB plays it all on one guitar, though. e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------9--7--6-9--7--6----99-6-99-7-9---99-6-99-7-9-7-77-6-77---7---77---77---7--------| D|----77-77-77-7-77-77-7-9-99---99---9-9-99---99---9---77---77-9-7-7-77-7-77-7-7--------| A|----77-77-77-7-77-77-7---77---77---7---77---77---7---55---55---5---55---55---5--------| E|----55-55-55-5-55-55-5----------------------------------------------------------------| p.m. -- -- -- - -- -- - -- -- - -- -- - -- -- - -- -- - Play that whole thing twice, then a chorus with drums and vocals only, followed by a chorus and some we’re not gonna get alongs. After they say “we’re not gonna get along” no music, play the riff behind that one more time. After that, palm mute a A5 chord three times fast to end the song. Enjoy!
