Intro;
The intro has some tricky hammering and pulling, though you
can probably get away without some of the complications here;

Middle bit;
The chords I've used for the third and fourth lines of this part
are slightly different from the original because I think my way sounds
better. If you want the original chords for these lines,
they are; Em / C / Em / Em : G / C / G
G C G
And some may change the world
G C G
And some just lose their way
Em C Em C
And some just sit around holding hands
G C D
Praying for a judgment day
D D
I hear them talking deep in the night
C C
Wondering if they will make it tonight
Guitar solo;
This solo sounds a lot more difficult than it really is. It's
fairly straightforward, though rather fast, tapping, hammering and
pulling. The difficult part is jumping from the hammering and tapping
in the first 3 lines to the picked part in line 4. To make this a
little easier, try tapping using the edge of your plectrum rather
than using a finger. Alternatively, tap using a finger you don't use
when holding a plectrum. Either of these techniques will help ensure
that you have your plectrum to hand when you need it for line 4.
t = tap
p = pull
h = hammer
*********** = the bend in line 4 is not exact - at this speed, you might
struggle to bend up, down, then back up by a full tone. As long as you
bend up by a full tone, the bend down, then back up can be less than
a full tone, but make sure you bend back up to position 12.
Extremely fast;

The second part of the solo involves hammering and pulling working your way
up the E string. You can either pick the first note of each phrase or you
can pick the very first note and hammer and pull everything in the first
2 lines.
Personally, I think it sounds better picking the first note of each phrase,
but please yourself.
