h = hammer
p = pull off

Basically, you have four chords that keep getting repeated throughout the
whole song. If you listen to it, you'll figure out the strumming patterns.
I tried to make this as simple as I could, but with 3 guitar parts, 3
different progressions, 5 different arpeggio patterns, and different parts
playing at alternating times, sometimes the same time...you could expect
it to look complicated.
These chord formations sound closest to the song:
E: 022100
B: x24442
C#m: x46654
A: x02220
Intro: E E E B C#m A
Verses: E C#m A B
Chorus: E B C#m A
That's most of it, but in the verses, there are a couple parts where
a second guitar comes in.
Guitar 1 stays with chords, and it plays E E7 A Am E Emaj7(sus4) A B
E7 - 020100
Am - x02210
E(maj)7(sus4) - 020300 - this will be noted as "E(M)7(4)"
It goes:
[E]I [E7]qui[A]ck[Am]ly [E]ran back to get my guitar
[E(M)7(4)]A pen and[A] s[B]ome paper
and on the second time it does that:
[E]Ev[E7]ery[A]one was singin' along
[Am]The[E] same notes the same song
[E(M)7(4)]Or maybe [A]I [B]heard it wrong
Guitar 2 does a cool little arpeggio that goes like this:
[E] [E7] [A] [Am] [E] [A#] [A] [B]
e|----4----4----2----2----0----0----0-----2----------------------------------| B|---5-5--3-3--2-2--1-1------------------0-----------------------------------| G|-----------------------4-4--3-3--2-2--3------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Guitar 2 comes in on "I quickly ran back to get my guitar / A pen and some paper"
and on "Everyone was singing along / The same notes the same song* / Or maybe I
heard it wrong"
(*) = A third guitar comes in here, and it plays:
e|--4--h5p4--4h5p4--4-h5p4-2-------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then it goes back to the normal chord progression until after the second chorus.
Then the guitar plays an A Chord (...^.) which leads into guitar 3 playing this:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------1---2-1---------1----4-2-1------------------------------------------| D|---2-4---------4---2-4------------4----------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The first guitar is palm muting the rhythm here
When "Everyone was singin' along ... " comes in, guitar 3 plays the interlude twice
before playing the 4-h5p4 thing; the other two guitars play what they did before.
After the lyrics are over, a little riff gets played (I didn't figure that out yet),
and after that, this outro is played:
e|--------------------------19-----------------------------------------------| B|----17-16-17----17-16-17------17----17-16-17------17-----------------------| G|--16----------16------------------16----------16---------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
And that's it. Here's the stage progression:
Intro
Verse 1
Bridge
Chorus
Verse 2
Bridge
Chorus
Interlude
Bridge
Chorus
Chorus
Outro
End on a dragged out E major down stroke
It's a really cool song, and if you only have one guitar player, then just play the chords
and the guitar 3 part for the interlude. It's not hard to sing and play at the same time
for this one.
