 [Outro] 


 


 Riff 1 (Heavy Distortion)-This part is the only part of the song that actually can't be played in standard


 correctly. I have taken out the lowest note of the second chord because that is the only note that is not


 playable in standard. It still sounds good.

 The sixth time, the last chord is strummed as they're saying, "angels deserve to die." The actual chord


 they're playing (according to my hearing) is too low for standard. You can either strum the last chord or the


 first chord for the ending.

 [Intro]
 
 The intro has some over dubbed riffs.
 
 Riff 1 (Clean)-Basic Idea of strumming pattern. Listen to the song if you want it to be more acurate.
