Tuning: C#G#C#F A#C#, no capo.

The verses are based around 3, maybe 4 variations of pretty much the same chord and a repeating bass line.
It's not too easy to distinguish when Adrianne plays the different ones on the recording, gut as a general
rule the 1st variation is the one she's playing. This one is also the hardest one to play, and I suggest
playing the 3rd or 4th variation if the 1st one is too hard. The 2nd variation is played after the 1st chorus
and after the guitar solo, before transitioning into the 1st variation again. Keep in mind that it doesn't
really matter what variation you play, as it seems Adrianne is not consistent on this either. Just have fun
with it and play what suits you.

The base chord is a sort of C#maj13, which is the chord name I'm using (supplemented by the bass notes).

            1st var.  2nd var.  3rd var.  4th var.
C#maj13:    x59770    x57700    x59700    x50770
C#maj13/F#: 5x9770    5x7700    5x9700    5x0770
C#maj13/G#: 7x9770    7x7700    7x9700    7x0770

The song uses the same picking pattern throughout the song, with some variation in the guitar solos.
Here's how you play the main shape in all the verses. The chorus has the same picking pattern.

Guitar solo is based on a riff sort of like this, but I suggest listening to what Adrianne does on the
recording and live versions, and just go grazy.
