	        If you're gonna play along with PVS songs on the CD, tune down a half step. 
 
Two guitars here -- Shane's guitar is capoed at the 
6th fret 
 
Lead guitar has no capo. 
 
 
 
Capoed Guitar.... 
 
all chords are relative to the capo. 
 
Intro/Verse 
 
C/G - F (no root) - Am7 
 
Bridge 
 
F (no root) - hammer on the root of the F chord - Am - C 
 
...listen to the CD for this part. Or have a look at the Lead part to get an idea. 
 
Refrain... 
 
'sliced up in a million pieces...' 
 
F - Em - F - Em - F - Em - G 
 
that is pretty much it for the capoed guitar - the chords are (from low to high) 
 
 
 
NOW - for lead guitar - it goes like this...... 
 
REMEMBER there is NO capo on the lead guitar. 
 
Intro Hook... put it on your bridge pickup to fill it out and round it off a bit. 
 
e  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
b  -------------------------14---12---11------------------------------------------- 
G  ------------------11----------------------11----------------11\10------------- 
D  ------------11-------------------------------------11h13-------------11-------- 
A  -------9---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
E  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
e  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G  ------------------11----------------------11----------------------11~~---------- 
D  ------------11---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
A  -------9----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
E  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

the lead guitar plays nothing until the Bridge - when it doubles Shane's guitar in different chord voicings... 
 
Palm mute these a bit... 
 
e  ---------------------------------------------------------------2------------------------ 
b  ---------------------------------------------------------------2------------------------ 
G  -------------------------------------8---8---8---------------3------------------------ 
D  -------------------------------------6---6---6------4---4---4----------------------- 
A  --------9------9----9-------9----------------------4---4---4------------------------ 
E  --------6---6/7----6----6/7--------------------------------------------------------- 
 
then the bass plays a way cool descending line at the end and you're back into the verse! 
 
refrain... 
 
e  --------------------6-------                                                     --------------- 
b  --------------------6--------                                                    --------------- 
G  --------------------6-------                                                     -------------- 
D  --------------------8--------                                                    ---6---6----- 
A  -----9---9---9----8--------                                                    ---4---4----- 
E  -----7---7---7----6--------     etc until the last part is a C#   -------------- 
 
 
And those little lead notes in the breakdown go like this.... 
 
play these with your fingers instead of the pick. 
 
e  -----------14~~~-------14-------------------- 
b  -----14-------------------------12----11~~~~ 
G  -------------------------------------------------- 
 
And then end the song on an F#
