*Intro*
 
The Intro is bass, obviously, so no need for tabs here.

I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

*Build*

Here's where the guitar builds up to the chorus.

E -----------------------------------------------
B -----------------------------------------------
G -----------------------------------------------
D ---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7------------
A ---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7------------
E ---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------------

And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone


*Chorus*

E -----------------------------------------------

Then Play

Riff 1
Riff 2

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear,
But that's what I'll do

After the 2nd Verse, play the Build again.


And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home


After the Build, play the chorus again but 2x.

During the chorus is the solo. Begin when the chorus starts.

*Solo*

(For a sound that is close to the actual one, 
pluck around the 14th fret)

E ---0~---0-3-0-0-3---2----0~---0-3-5-3-3-5-3-2--
B -----------------------------------------------
G -----------------------------------------------
D -----------------------------------------------
A -----------------------------------------------
E -----------------------------------------------
   Repeat that 1 more time.

E ---12~---12-15-12-12-15---14---12~---12-15-17-15-15-17-15-14--
B --------------------------------------------------------------

E ---12~---12-15-12-12-17---16---12~---12--14-12-12-14-12-10-6--
B --------------------------------------------------------------
G --------------------------------------------------------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------
A --------------------------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home


Next Play the Build

And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home


Now, Play The Chorus once.

Then end with:

E ------------
B ------------
G ---4/9/3----
D ---4/9/3----
A ---2/7/1----
E ------------
