Key: C 

The main riff is played on baÄ?lama, which is an eastern variaton of lute. 
This is a version for acoustic guitar (add a little palm-muting where you feel it):  

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|---------3-2-2-0--------0--------------------------------------------------| 
D|-------------------3-----------2-------3-3-2-------------------------------| 
A|-3-3-3-3---------3---3-3---3-3---4-4-4-------4-3--3-3-3--3-4---------------| 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|-------------0-0-2-2-2-3-3-3-5---6-6-5-5-3-3-2-2----5--3-2-0---------------| 
D|-----2-2-3-3---------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-3-3---------------------------3-----------------3-------------------------| 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Listen to the song to get that rhytm into your hands. 


This is played over the baÄ?lama melody later on: 

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|-5-----6--5----5-----6--5---5-----6--5---5-6-5---5-6-5---------------------| 
D|-----5-------------5------------5------------------------------------------| 
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Chords in the Chorus (for acoustic guitar, for electric just play two lowest notes of each one): 

e|-3----------1----------1----------4----------------------------------------| 
B|-4----------1----------1----------4----------------------------------------| 
G|-5----------3----------1----------5----------------------------------------| 
D|-5----------3----------3----------6----------------------------------------| 
A|-3----------1----------3----------6----------------------------------------| 
E|-----------------------1----------4----------------------------------------| 

In the bridge there is a short part where the baÄ?lama player  
plays something else, just improvise over that bit ;)
