A|-0-0-3-3-3-------0-0--3h5-5---3h5-5---0---3-3-3------0-0---3-3-3-3/5~------|

                                                             Pick scrape into the chorus.

For chorus two, play just like the first one but on the fill palm mute it quickly
 and pick each note separately. End with an open C#5 for rhythm, for lead play this:
Solo:
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------5-7-5-----------5-7-5----------5-7-5---5/7~-------------------------|
D|---0-7-------7-5-7-0-7------7-5-7-0-7-------7------------------------------|

G|----14---------14-12-14-----14-----------14-12-14--------------------------|
D|-12----------------------12------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|--------------------10t-8t-12t-10t-13----13brb-----------------------------|
B|-13-11--11----------------------------13--------18-------------------------|
G|------12--12-10-12~-----------------------------17brbr~--------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------0-0-00--|
E|----------------------------------------------------------12//////-0-0-00--|
Note: on the double stop at the end slightly bend the b string to give it a fuller sound.
Pick scrape after solo.


Chorus 3: Same as others except you pick slide instead of the fill.

Outro

E|-00-00-00-03b03b----00-00-0-0-03b03b----00-00-0-0-3b03b-----00-00-00--12-\-|
                           
That's it! If you would like the lead for the chorus let me know!
I don't play it so I just left it out.
