Don't necessarily try and strum each of these chords, try and hammer SOME of the non-open ones (222xxx and 333xxx): E--------------------------------------| B--------------------------------------| G--------------------------------------| D---2--0--2--0--2-----0--2---0--2--3---| x 3 A---2--0--2--0--2-----0--2---0--2--3---| D---2--0--2--0--2-----0--2---0--2--3---| then...

Repeat. ____________________________________________________________________________ Pre-chorus 1: (Madman...madman...) There are three guitar parts here. There is a main riff (RIFF 1), a chord struck at the beginning of the 1st and 3rd measures (Dsus2), and an octave being repeated in the background (RIFF 1A). In concert, Daniel mainly will play the Dsus2 at random, but with distortion. Here are all three: Guitar 1: (distortion) Play RIFF 1 4x. Guitar 2: (clean tone) Play this chord at the beginning of the 1st and 3rd measures: (There are two ways to play this chord, and it's very hard to tell which version Daniel plays.)
