This is one of the first songs that I have tabbed, and it’s reveling in
incompleteness. Hopefully you’ll get the main chords and know enough to
take it from there. Have fun!! Oh, and you have my permission to can

we go
The main chords of the chorus are D, Em, C, and G. Here is how I play them:
(Low E at the left)
D – x00232
Em – 022000
C – 332010
G – 320033
Here’s the intro; you’ll probably have to listen to the song to get the rythm.
(High E at top)
INTRO:
D Em C G
e————————————|
b——-3——0——-1——3——|
g—–2—2–0—0—0—0–0—0—-|
d—0——2——-2——0———-|
a————————————|
E————————————|
D Em C
e————————————|
b——-3——0——-1——1——|
g—–2—2–0—0—0—0–0—0—-|
d—0——2——-2——0———-|
a————————————|
E————————————|
then Guitar 1:
RIFF 1 (distortion):
d—2————–|
a—2————–|
E—0–0-0-2-0-0-3-|
directly followed by Guitar 2:
RIFF 2 (smoothly, w/ distortion):
a—7-9-10-6-7-|
then RIFF 1 again, followed by Guitar 2:
RIFF 3 (distortion):
a—10–9-10-9-7-|
Now we have the three main riffs in the song. Here’s how it goes after
the intro:
BRIDGE 1:
RIFF 1
RIFF 2 Play twice
RIFF 1 /
RIFF 3 /
Play these 4 riffs, in that order, and you have the next-part-after-the-intro.
Now is when Ed starts singing.
Here’s the verse:
VERSE:
RIFF 1
RIFF 2 Play thrice, then
RIFF 1 /
RIFF 2 /
RIFF 1
RIFF 2
RIFF 1
RIFF 3
Someone in the background is playing the high notes of the chord E,
then the bridge is basically a strumming of the A chord.
It goes:
BRIDGE 2:
A
RIFF 1
RIFF 2 > Play twice
RIFF 1 /
RIFF 3/
Now for the chorus; you play the intro riff with the corresponding chords
being strummed.
CHORUS:
D Em C G
I don’t believe in the sorcerers or the preachers,
D Em C
I just believe in you.
D Em C G
I don’t believe in the scholars or the wisemen,
D Em C
I just believe in you.
now:
BRIDGE 1
VERSE
BRIDGE 2
CHORUS
now here’s the next bridge
BRIDGE 3
low E—0–0-0-3-0-0-3-0-3-2-0-3-2-0-0-| > Play 4 times
followed directly by the 3 lowest notes of the Em chords.
(now some cool drumming)
now is some cool strumming of the lower notes of the E chord then D, w/ dist.
(The D chord for this bridge is just played with the low E string covered
by the thumb on fret 2) Here you MUST listen to the song to get the beat.
Great, now the solo. I don’t do solo’s; I’m sorry. I think it has some
twangtwang here and some slidetwang there, but that’s about it. I know
that in the background someone is strumming:
SOLO:
A then E, A then E
Enough of that.
then we do:
CHORUS >Play twice
Okay, okay, I know this tab’s a mess. I’ll try to organize it a little.
Just remember what part’s are labeled what, and I’ll put them in order
here:
INTRO
BRIDGE 1
VERSE
BRIDGE 2
CHORUS
BRIDGE 1
VERSE
BRIDGE 2
CHORUS
BRIDGE 3
SOLO
CHORUS 2x
