Play it once through normal for the intro, then the 2nd time around stop at the (*)
and play fill 1. Then the next time around in the beginning, if you want, add
fill 2.

The chorus is just these chords, i dont know the strumming pattern, but its fast.

Pre Chorus - D, Em
Chorus - A, A7, G, D x2

Dont Forget Me
--------------

I saw them live on MTV 2 and its actually the bass that does the strumming but here it is anyway:

E------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------ repeat throughout whole song
D--7-xxxx--3-xxxx--8--xxxx--5-xxxx---------
A--7-xxxx--3-xxxx--8--xxxx--5-xxxx---------
E--5-xxxx--1-xxxx--10-xxxx--3-xxxx---------

The guitar come in playing the open e string for a while and then adds a couple of extra notes. Just play around with frets 5, 7 and 8 will lots of hammering and pulling off and you will sort of working it. I could go into more detail but its not worth it.

Chorus Chords - Am, F, C, G
