 The guitar in the verse is quite quiet but from what i can tell
 the guitar is pretty much the same apart from i think the first 
 part is like this.

Chorus
im not completly sure about this part, but you can get the jist of it.
I think when you play it the second time its slighy different after the open chord.
Listen to the CD, i cant work it out because its hard to hear properly.

Chorus part 2


Solo
lots of distorcion and if you playing this live in a band, it doesnt matter if you 
play extra strings or are a bit messy, it adds to the effect as long as you not too 
sloppy.
