Yeah... I know there are other pretty good versions already, but unfortunately
they're not as precise/complete as I like them. I want to give everyone the most
accurate, completest version, with the solo and everything. This is just as Ryan
plays live. Have fun!

Live version for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSEIK2pJstk

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

Tricky, but just think of these as five notes in regular succession:
     x    . . . . .    x    . . . . .    x    . . . . .    x    . . . . .

[repeat the progression with slightly different strumming pattern - see video]
A lot of "you don't need tricks/treats", then comes the part before the solo:
