pre-verse 2
verse 2
chorus 2 (at the end of the second chorus, the chord progression is played through again double-time)
breakdown: The breakdown is just a combination of previously played parts.
It starts with the pre-verse then transitions to a strummed-out A major barre chord
(or you can play it as an octave
D----7----
A----x----
E----5----
The rest of it is just the first half of the chorus repeated with harmonics and string noise.
To get this sound, drag your finger down the strings picking up the
harmonics and hitting the D,G,B, and E strings while muting with your picking hand.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official AFI tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
