  - Tuning: Eb A# D# G# B# E#
 INTRO - Heavy Distortion :)
 =====

   - The strumming pattern isn't right, so play it any way you think sounds      good.
   - Over the above, lay these licks...

VERSE - hammer on the lower 3 strings with your index and 3rd finger:
=====
     "love, love  let's pretend ...etc"

    -  This is the basic fast-tempo metal format of the song; various bridges
     and things include bars on the 10th, 3rd, 5th and zeroth frets.  It would
     take up less space if I ommitted those.
CHORUS:
======   "shot full of diamonds                        and a million years

                         James only                     (many strums.....)
   -Again, the strumming pattern isn't perfect.  Repeat the intro part and the
  next verse.  For that 2nd "shot full of diamonds", Billy slaps on a positive
  Octaver.  Also, add these licks over the 2nd intro (confused yet?)

     "if by chance       or circumstance              we should fail

THE LOUNGE ACT - unless your guitar plays backwards, play the following :)
==============
       "In a dream...wrist, t I knew w had forsaken...

   - Those notes at the question marks still piss me off...
SOLO - the only thing I attempted here was the following:
====
      ...to my disease, of my needs...

OUTRO - wait for bass to do 4 bars, then do a heavy pick scrape and play this:
=====
     "she really loves to break...
