Nothing real fancy here, but I recommend playing with the song to get the timings and rhythm down.
INTRO - No bass, although if you feel like playing here, play the Verse 2 riff.
VERSE 1 - Come in on "On their own, on the run..."

Repeat once, without the slide at the beginning.

Stop the last note right on the snare drum hit.

Thanks for viewing, and be sure to check out the performance notes below. This song is simple and
has some different playing options to fit your playing style and skill level.
Alle Herrlichkeit zu Gott!

PERFORMANCE NOTES
TUNING - You may find it easier to play this song with the E string tuned up to F. If you do that,
just move all E string notes down a half-step, or one fret.
PRECHORUSES - Just to clarify things, VERSE 1 is played with all notes being eighth notes, while
both PRECHROUS 1 & 2 are played with all notes being quarter notes to save space.
If you listen to the song, you will see what I'm talking about.
CHORUS 3 - This chorus makes things fancier by adding a scale to the beginning of each repetition,
which builds from F up to C on the E string. Since the next note is C on the A string, you
can just stay on the E String and move back down to F from there. Then when you go back to
C, you can jump to the A string if you want to. I personally think it sounds similar
enough that it doesn't really matter, except on the final ending C that you have to hold for
awhile. For that, I recommend playing the C on the A string, as the sound decays at a
slower rate than C on the E string.
