Tom: E
Intro: The shimmering "Don Henley - Boys Of Summer" thing in the background is something
along these lines :
Verse and intro
Your basic 2-chord progression. Strum to the rhythm. Play them open for the
Intro: , and then roll it back to single palm-muted notes for the verses.
A Db A Db -
Pre-Chorus
Open power chords.
B Db B Db B Db A B
Then this tasty little lick to transition into the chorus.
Chorus:
Simple power chords will suffice. I'll synch this up with the lyrics to give
you a better feel for the rhythm.

Bridge & Solo
The backing chords for the bridge and solo are the same as the verse.
A Db A Db
The solo is a total Nirvana scenario...it pretty much just follows the vocal
pattern of the verses.
Then back into the chorus.
