^ (hold)
This goes right back to the verse (i forget how many times) and then
the whole chorus thing again.
The only difference is during "shimmer sparkle while you can" hold that
chord instead of rest. Next is the kickin' riff during the middle of the
song which goes something like this: ("^" means accent)
(This part may not be 100% accurate, give me comments/corrections if
you got them)

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 VERUCA SALT 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.
