------------------------
------------------------
--------2---------------
--2--4------2--4--------
------------------3-----
------------------------
Y'all don't know what it's like, being male middle class and white.

Then middway it changes again to the other riff:
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
---5--5--x-x--7-7--x-x-----------5--5-------------------------
---5--5--x-x--7-7--x-x--3--3--x--3--3-------------------------

Then another chorus:
------------------------------
------------------------------
---7-7-7-7---10-10--5---------
---7-7-7-7---10-10--5---------
---5-5-5-5---8--8---3---------
------------------------------
I'm rockin the suburbs........

Until:

---------------------------
---------------------------
--7--10-----------------------
--7--10-----------------------
--5--8-----------------------
---------------------------

Then I think the riff changes to this:
-----------------------------
------------------------------
--7-7--5-5--9-9--7-------------------
--7-7--5-5--9-9--7------------------
--5-5--3-3--7-7--5----------------------
-------------------------------

----------------
--7--10--------------
--7--10-------------
--5--8--------------
-----------------

Then theres the " u betta watch out coz i'm gonna say fuck!" bit with a crazy bass line until the end.

Well thats about it. I tried my best and i hope it's okay, the order might be a bit mixed up but you'll work it out.
