awesome!!

the C#'s in the chorus are E majors (022100)
the A-G#-F# progression at the end of the chorus can be played like this, too:

--(5)--(4)--(2)---
--(5)--(4)--(2)---
--(6)--(6)--(3)---
---7----7----4----
---7----7----4----
---5----4----2----

fuck the etiquette!

thanks fbc. sounds like you're right on the E's.

by the way that's how i play the A G# F# part too.. what do you call the A that you play on the 5th fret? i play the D on the 5th fret too

you know

also i think the intro might just be the bottom string, but maybe not. what do you think fbc?

the emphasis is on the bottom string, definately, just play the intro with these chord shapes:

---0--2--0------5----7---
---0--2--0------5----7---
---3--3--3------6----8---
---4--4--4------7----9---
---4--4--4------7----9---
---0--2--0------5----7---

      F#        A    B


the A on the 5th is still an A, and I'm sure the D for the chorus is xx0232, but play it wherever it sounds cool.

(is that a hint for a bass tab? ;)

i don't think so. at a guess, just play the root note of each chord mentioned. for the verse, check out floop's intro effort, playing only the low E string tab.
