The way I play it is in standard tuning: E A D G B E Of course, \ is slide down, / is slide up. Main Part: ----------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------| --------11*-----11----------6-------4---------| ------0-------0----0--------------0-----------| ----0---------------------0-------------------| -10-------10----------\-5-----\-3------3-/----| (slide back up, repeat) * - on a few of the runs through this line, this note is bent up one step. Lyrics: Rental sting, the customer is king Waste your life, waste your life Little things can cost you everything Save your life, save your life Bridge: -------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------| -2-2-2--22--10-12-10-10-\-5-5-5--55-/-12-14-12-12-\----| -0-0-0--00--8--8--8--8--\-3-3-3--33-/-10-10-10-10-\----| (again, slide down & repeat) [whistling overtop, no vocals] Repeat Main Part with new lyrics: Dead and white, our distance is disguised Mad and sad when it's my misunderstanding Rental sting, the customer is king Waste your life, waste your life Closing part: -------------------------------------| -------------------------------------| -------------------------------------| 7-7-8-8-9-9-8------------------------| 5-5-5-5-5-5-5---7--8--9----5--6--7---| ----------------5--5--5----3--3--3---| (repeat to ending) There's a second guitar picking out some individual, higher notes overtop this pattern, but this part sounds sufficient on its own. As always, feel free to correct me or add anything. [email protected]
