Check it out." The verse riff is a piece of cake.....E5 F#5 E5 D....or it could be E F# E D depending on what you think sounds better.

What's the word, ???? Here lies the wreck that was me Here lies the junk that was me Oh God help mem rot, I don't look quite the same Grab my beating heart, take it from this broken cage Today I'm rotting Go away With red and black I will cross my side ?????? Just pull the plug, yeah, let me die
