Pre-Chorus
Chorus x2
For an easier way to play this, keep the capo 2 on and transpose the song
down 2 half steps so the E is now a D, then play everything in basic
acoustic chords in that position.
Here are the lead tabs. The whole song is built around this.

You can play this in multiple positions, but this is the easiest for my
fingers, and all the notes are accurate. Use your wammy bar to get those
drops at the end of each riff.

The second time through, James leaves out the 4th fret and just plays 8
of the 6th fret... but play it however you want.
