their ears for some parts of this amazing song. I will give it a shot.
Intro Riff:
e|-------------14----17--19-----------|To get that signature sound I
B|----15----------15------------------|recommend using the Vans Driver
G|-------16---------------------------|found on multi-effects pedals.
D|-14-------17------------------------|Regular distortion might not cut
A|------------------------------------|it.
E|------------------------------------|
Verse: 2nd guitar (background)
e|---------------------------------------|Main guitar part is the intro
B|---------------------------------------|riff repeated many times.
G|---------------------------------------|

2nd Verse: 2nd guitar
e|---------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------7-9--|Pick 7 repeated then 9.
D|---------------------------------------|Listen to song to recognize
A|-----2-2--------------2-2-----5-5------|the change.
E|-0-0-----3-3-2-2--0-0-----3-3----------|
Chorus:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-/9--/12--14--------------9-----/9--/12--14--------------9----|
D|-/9--/12--12--9--/7--/12--9--5--/9--/12--12--9--/7--/12--9--7-|

E|--------------7--/5--/10-----3---------------7--/5--/10-----5-|

| I really think it's about a rich girl--not so much that she has a spiked drink--but more that she gets what she wants. She's a temptress, and instead of letting people in 'so unloved'--she just uses people for sexual pleasure. | |

| It's sex. It's the kind of song that sucks the virginity right out of you. | |
