Repeat



Chorus Riff
G|-----------------------------------------6---9-----------6---9-|
D|-*---------------------6--9------4---7-----------4---7---------|
A|-*-7----7-7---7-7---7------------------4---7-----------4---7---|

A|-5---5-5---5-5---5-5-4-----------------------------*-|
E|-----------------------5--7---7--7---7--7--5--4--2---| 

On the last time in the chorus, play it this way:
G|---------------------------------------6---9-----------6---9-|
D|---------------------6--9------4---7-----------4---7---------|
A|-7----7-7---7-7---7------------------4---7-----------4---7---|

D|---------------------------------------------------/9--|
A|-5---5-5---5-5---5-5-4---------------------6---/9------|
E|-----------------------5--7---7--7---7--7--------------| 



"Post-chorus" ie "ah your hair is beautiful" bit
G|------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-----------------------|
D|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------------------------7---9---10---11------|

E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------------------------5---7---8----9----10---| 



Repeat the intro riff.

Then, repeat the last part of the chorus riff

Then, the post chorus, but there is a slight difference:
G|------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7------9----9-------9----9--------------------------|
D|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------------------7h9--7h9-----7h9--7h9------7---9---10---11------|
A|-----------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--7------------7------------------------------------|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------------------------------------5---7---8----9----10---|




From here on out its pretty much the intro riff jazzed up a bit:

Start with the intro riff:
G|--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-----------------------------------------7-7-7-7---------|
D|------------------10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---------9-9-9-9-|
A|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-----------------------------------------5-5-5-5----------|
E|-----------------8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---------7-7-7-7--|


Then eventually add to it until you get this by the end:
G|--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------10-10-10-10-10-10-10-9-7-7-7-7-7-9-10-11--12--12--12--12-9-11--12--13-|
A|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------8--8--8--8--8--8--8--7-5-5-5-5-5-7-8--9--10--10--10--10--7-9--10--11---|



Have fun with this one. Its fantastic.
