==========================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   C#   A   C#  -  

============================Pre-Chorus=======================================

Open power chords.

B  C#  B  C#  B  C#  A  B

Then this tasty little lick to transition into the chorus.

E|---------------| |
B|---------------| |
G|---------------| |
D|-----1-2--1----| |
A|-2-4---------2-| |
E|---------------| |

==============================Chorus:========================================

Simple power chords will suffice.  I'll synch this up with the lyrics to give
you a better feel for the rhythm.

(A)      (B)                  (B)  (C#)
I'm gonna drive and never ever slow down
(A)      (B)           (B)   (C#)
I'm gonna drive until I break down
(A)           (B)                (B)        (C#)
I'm packing my things and getting outta this town
(A)      (B)           (B)   (C#)
I'm gonna drive until I break down.

============================Bridge & Solo====================================

The backing chords for the bridge and solo are the same as the verse.

A  C#  A  C#

The solo is a total Nirvana scenario...it pretty much just follows the vocal
pattern of the verses.  

E|-------------------------------------------------| |
B|----------5~----------5-4~-----------------------| |
G|-4-6-4-6-----4-6-4-6-------4-6-4-6-4---4-6-6-6--6| |
D|-------------------------------------6-----------| |
A|-------------------------------------------------| |
E|-------------------------------------------------| |

E|-----------------------------------------------------| |
B|---------/9~~---------5-4-5--4-----------------------| |
G|-4-6-4-6-----4-6-4-6-----------4h6-4~~---------------| |
D|-------------------------------------------1-2--1----| |
A|---------------------------------------2-4---------2-| |
E|-----------------------------------------------------| |

Then back into the chorus.

=============================================================================

That's pretty much all the parts.  There are some little harmonics and other
accentuations that I didn't bother tabbing.  Hope it works out for y'all.
