Acoustic Guitar (F Bb Eb Ab C f) Legend:
h = hammer on p = pull off
Chords:
Em:[022000] Dsus4:[xx0233]
C: [x32010] Em7: [022033]
G: [320033] Cadd9:[x32033]
D: [xx0232] Dsus2:[xx0230]
For simplicity's sake the chords are given as their regular shape when the guitar is
half a step up, or using a capo on the first fret.
The intro and outro riffs are played using tap harmonics while fretting an Fm (Em shape
the capo on 1st). To sound a tap harmonic, you fret the note that you want to hit, and
tap the fret wire 12 frets above that note. I have indicated the fret you want to
tap using a capo.
