Breakdown

Tom : E

[Intro]
The shimmering "Don Henley - Boys Of Summer" thing in the background is something
along these lines :
E|-------------------------------||
B|-5-4---5-4---5-4---5-4---5-4---||
G|-----6-----6-----6-----6-----6-||
D|-------------------------------||
A|-------------------------------||
E|-------------------------------||
Verse and intro
Your basic 2-chord progression. Strum to the rhythm. Play them open for the
intro, and then roll it back to single palm-muted notes for the verses.
A C# A C# -
Pre-Chorus
Open power chords.
B C# B C# B C# A B
Then this tasty little lick to transition into the chorus.
E|---------------||
B|---------------||
G|---------------||
D|-----1-2--1----||
A|-2-4---------2-||
E|---------------||
Chorus:
Simple power chords will suffice. I'll synch this up with the lyrics to give
you a better feel for the rhythm.
( A ) ( B ) ( B ) ( C# )
I'm gonna drive and never ever slow down
( A ) ( B ) ( B ) ( C# )
I'm gonna drive until I break down
( A ) ( B ) ( B ) ( C# )
I'm packing my things and getting outta this town
( A ) ( B ) ( B ) ( C# )
I'm gonna drive until I break down.
Bridge & Solo
The backing chords for the bridge and solo are the same as the verse.
A C# A C#
The solo is a total Nirvana scenario...it pretty much just follows the vocal
pattern of the verses.
E|-------------------------------------------------||
B|----------5~----------5-4~-----------------------||
G|-4-6-4-6-----4-6-4-6-------4-6-4-6-4---4-6-6-6--6||
D|-------------------------------------6-----------||
A|-------------------------------------------------||
E|-------------------------------------------------||

G|-4-6-4-6-----4-6-4-6-----------4h6-4~~---------------||
D|-------------------------------------------1-2--1----||

Then back into the chorus.
