A lot of the time I wrote just Bm D G when actually its played as written below.
(I did this because when i wrote it in, it just cluttered up the tab and put off the timing)
You play the Bm as normal but before going to the D you strike the top 4 strings
open once. You then move to the D hammering on the 3rd fret on the high e a couple
times. Just listen to the song goddamnit!
