E-/15-15-15------------------------------------------

Now you just play the Verse Lick until the chorus (no fills)

Now there are 2 guitar parts going here
Ones just John struming muted dringd to the beat,
and the other starts at the end of the solo-
E-0-------/3--0-----/10--0-----/10--0-------/15------------------------------------
C-0-------/3--0-----/10--0-----/10--0-------/15------------------------------------
G-0-------/3--0-----/10--0-----/10--0-------/15-(strum the 13th's abount 13 times)-
C-0-------/3--0-----/10--0-----/10--0-------/15------------------------------------
G-0-------/3--0-----/10--0-----/10--0-------/15------------------------------------
C-0-------/3--0-----/10--0-----/10--0-------/15------------------------------------
Now it just goes back to the Verse, and the to the chorus.
John does some fills at the end of each chorus lick
