Tuning: B F# B E G# C# (Tune to drop D and then tune everything three half-steps
lower. This is to get the low, bassy tone which Jamie's got.)
Basically the song is alternating between these two chords/notes:
A# C
C# |--------|--------|
G# |--------|--------|
E |--------|--------|
B |---11---|---13---|
F# |---11---|---13---|
B |---11---|---13---|
Alternatively:
A# C
C# |--------|--------|
G# |--------|--------|
E |--------|--------|
B |--------|--------|
F# |--------|--------|
B |---11---|---13---|
Sometimes Jamie's playing some fancy parts on the high strings.
Kind of this but very alternating:
A# C
C# |-------------9-9---|---------------------|
G# |-------------------|-------11----11------|
E |---10--10-10-------|---12-----12----12---|
B |---11--------------|---13----------------|
F# |---11--------------|---13----------------|
B |---11--------------|---13----------------|
At 01:35 there is some sort of bridge (played twice):
G# G F# F
C# |-------|-------|-------|-------|
G# |-------|-------|-------|-------|
E |-------|-------|-------|-------|
B |--(9)--|--(8)--|--(7)--|--(6)--|
F# |--(9)--|--(8)--|--(7)--|--(6)--|
B |---9---|---8---|---7---|---6---|
I'm sure you can stitch it together!
Good luck!
