That last B note is held until Gavin starts singing ?Just a wish…?
Then comes the verse which is basically the same:

The last bit in the chorus is the violin part played at the end, so it?s only optional. Then comes the
again:

This is repeated twice, then comes the bridge, which is the same as before, and then comes the interlude
the bridge and the chorus:
|—————————————————————-|
|—————————————————————-|
|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5—4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4—5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5—4-4-4-4-4|

and walks.
Then comes the chorus which is the same as before, but without the violin part at the end, and then
little interlude:
|—————————————————————-|
|—————————————————————-|
|-7-7-x-7-7-7-7-7-79-9-9-x-9-9-9-9/7-7-7-x-7-7-7-7-79-9-9-9-9–|

Then comes the intro riff, which has changed slightly.
|—————————————————————-|

Then it?s the strings solo, and the backing guitar is pretty much spot on.

|-2————2–2–2-5—5-5-57–7-7-7/5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5—-|
|—————————————————————-|
After that, it?s a little guitar part that accompanies the strings:

To get the affect that is achieved, you need to run the pick quickly over the muted string and then obtain
hardcore feedback.
Then comes the verse which is the same as the 1st one, and NO bridge this time, it?s straight into the
which is repeated twice. Then it?s time for the last 2 (pointless) chords to finish this song.
