Try this :E eA = x0222x (play open but play all strings with index finger)Followed by? = x06xxxThe timing isn't difficult to work out, although the song begins with the string on the6th fret (ensure that you play the A string open with this).At the end of each lyric line, either bend the strings in the A chord as hard as you can (!)or move the shape up to fret 3, then 4 in quick succession.**BRIDGE**E eD = x577xx (or open)G#5 = 466xxxF#5 = 244xxxE = x799xx (or open)E5 = 022xxxDI am idiot drug hive, the virgin.....etcG#5 F#5 E5 G#5 F#5 E5.....tattered and the tornD EI've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody elseThe F#/G#/E part can be also played repetedly on single strings asopposed to powerchords (I don't know which it actually is) :G# = g string fret 1F# = d : 4E = d : 2**CHORUS**Is a version of A, played in the following phrase, with the strings heldpermentantly on fret 9 and 10 and hammering on/off on 11 with 3rd and littlefingers.
