This song is very easy to play. The chorus is a variation of the main riff.
The strumming pattern and timing are just what you need to work on.

Dropped-D like every one of their songs.
This song is really cool. I'm not sure everything is right but it sounds
close.
" / " = Slide " X " = M. Strum
INTRO and RIFF: Dist. May not look right but listen and try.
