This was adapted from a midi so it isn't all together true. A good basis for future work though. The intro/synth line goes like this: E ---------------------------------------------------------- B ---------------------------------------------------------- G ---------------------------------------------------------- D -------0---4---------------0----4---------------0----4---- A -2--------------0-----2--------------0----2--------------- E ---------------------------------------------------------- The main synth/bass line goes like this: E ----------------------------------------- B ----------------------------------------- G ----------------------------------------- D ----------------------------------------- A ----------------5------------------------ E -7-7-5-5-2-----------5-5-7----5-5-7------ Of course, most people find it easier to play like this, but for some reason I don't: D ----------------0----------------- A -2-2-0-0-------------0-2----0-0-2- E ---------2------------------------ During the verse, this little riff is played periodically: G -------------------------------2-2-2- D -4-2-2-4-4-2-2-4-4-2-2-4-4-2-4------- G -------------------------------4-4-4- D -4-2-2-4-4-2-2-4-4-2-2-4-4-2-4------- The main guitar riff is: E ------------------------------------------- B ------------------------------------------- G -4---4-4-4----7---7-7-7----9---9-9-9------- D -4---4-4-4----7---7-7-7----9---9-9-9---9--- A -2---2-2-2----5---5-5-5----7---7-7-7---9--- E ---------------------------------------7--- At "Grey matter, grey matter, oh oh oh oh ..." it just alternates between B and D. (2 and 5 on the A string, simply powerchorded) The only slightly different part is "I... think you like it..."; the bass/synth line thingo steps down from B to A, so it ends up being: E ----------------------------------------- B ----------------------------------------- G ----------------------------------------- D ----------------------------------------- A ----------------3------------------------ E -5-5-3-3-0-----------3-3-5----3-3-5------ And the other guitar part during this section goes: E ----------------------------------------- B ----------------------------------------- G -7-7-7-5--------------------------------- D -7-7-7-5------5---5-5---5-7-5------------ A -5-5-5-3------5---5-5---5-7-5------------ E --------------3---3-3---3-5-3------------
