   ^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--------------------------------------|

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--------|
