this band - pretty unheard of, only just released their first album - hac
this as the first song they wrote, and its my favourite. its quite easy to
play, though.

intro:

E-----5----0-0-0-----------------------------
B-3-3---3-2-2-2-2----------------------------
G--------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------

x8

after two of them, the bass joins in with

E--------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------
A-----5-----0--------------------------------
E--3-3-3-2-2---------------------------------

x2

then after 4 of the beginning solo, some chords come in:

G G D G F# Bm

and that all goes on for about eight bars, and the guitar bar chords carry
on through the verse, but the bass plays:

E---------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------
D------------7--------------------------------
A-----5-4-5-5-9--9-7--------------------------
E-3-3---------------9-7-----------------------

it goes through the bass line 4 times, and plays the chords 8 times, before
going into a chorus. the intro to the chorus has a chord riff
going on in the background, but the solo part on the guitar goes:

E-4-6-4-6-5-7-5-7-3-5-3-5-5-7-5-7-7-9-7-9-10-12-10-12-12-14-12-14-15-15-15-15-17
B----------------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------

the underneath chords are;
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------

p.m.

then, there are some simultaneous chords going on, and one player

plays:

G-G F-F E-E G-G (the first G's and F's played in a stacatto
fashion)

meanwile, the other guitarist plays:

G-G D-D E-E (high) E-E (in the same fashion)

next, it goes onto the final part of the chorus, which is a few barchords:

C F E A G C E(high) c D

then it goes back to the verse. after the second verse and chorus, it goes
to a bridge part:

G C E (E-1-3-1-3-1)
x4

this is played with a solo in the background
