Use a pretty heavy chorus effect throughout. Intro and Refrain - use light strumming; barely hit those A chords at the end of the first two measures. Let the open E chord ring. Verse - use pick-hand muting, but hit the highest note (B) sharply. The "2T" indicates that it's easiest to fret the F# with your thumb. The (0) indicates that the open A is used here only at the very beginning of each Verse. Chorus - use fret-hand muting by alternately releasing pressure on the chord. The accents indicate when the chord sounds through (i.e., when it should be fretted). Key: |. = dotted quarter note | = quarter note } = quarter rest _| = single eighth note |_| = eighth notes % = eighth rest |=| = sixteenth notes V = big accent v = moderate accent
