Listen to the record for the rhythm. I've only accentuated
the primary notes in the riff, you should play them along
with the remaining strings open.


D--0-0-0-0-2-0-0--------------
C--2-2-2-0-2-0-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-- PLAY TWICE FOR INTRO + HOLD LAST NOTE
G--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-4-0-0-4-4--
D--0--------------------------

G--0-----

same riff for verse, go to this for "that's alright on an empty stage...":

after "sing out when there's no other way":

C--7----5-- (this is the G and F progression)

then to same G / F progression as "sing out when..."

after the next verse, rock out the G / F change and the "flashing light"
riff above (w/ whammy bar extrapolation etc).

then play this variation of the intro riff:

then repeat that whole section up until the chords at the end, instead play:


D-------12-------------0-------
C----------12------------0-----
G---12--------12---10------10--
D---12-------------10----------
G---12-------------10----------
C------------------------------


keep playing a pattern like that during the next vocal part.

end:

C--10----12--------

last time, play the G steadily then down to F and back to verse.

then there's thurston's gtr break, when the drums come in for a moment
play G to F again, then pause, then come back in on G and F for the
final verse (maybe play it an octave higher @ 17th => 15th frets).
