   ^these bass notes are very important; strike them hard on your downward rakes!

    upward rake like in the intro
E|------2-2-2--2-2------2-2-2-2--2-2-2--------------------------------------|
B|------1-1-1--1-1------0-0-0-0--1-1-1-----5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5----------|

Its pretty much the same theme throughout the song, except during the verses instead of doing this:
E|------------------------------------|
B|-----5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5--------|
G|-----6-6-6--6-6-6--6-6-6--6--------|
D|-----5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5--------|

B|-----------------------------x--x----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------x--x----------------------------------------|
D|---2---4---2---4-------2---------------and back to the turnaround--------|
A|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---24-----2---2--2--------------------------------------|
