A|-7--7--/10--7--5--3--2---- an A cord.
E|--------------------------


Pre-Chorus
**************************

E|------------------------------------ but this part I don't
B|------------------------------------ get? do you play the D
G|------------------------------------ cord all the way threw
D|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---- First? then jump to the
A|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---- A cord next? then to
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---- E cord? or do u play
All three cords at
Chorus Once???
**********************

E|--------------------------
B|-------------------------- Same on this line as well
G|-9--9--/12--9--7--5--4---- do u play all 3 gda cords
D|-9--9--/12--9--7--5--4---- at once? or play all 3
A|-7--7--/10--7--5--3--2---- seperate???
E|--------------------------

E|-----------------------------
B|-----------------------------
G|-9--9--/12--9--7--5-7-5-4----

E|-----------------------------

and the end chord is simply this
******************************************

E|------
B|------
G|-9---- same thing here as well?
D|-9----
A|-7----
E|------

so if any you guitar players know what I am talking about then please so................fill me in. I've been going out of my mind trying to figure this out. I've got the hang of the fingering and the cords. but reading guitar tabs I'm so lost. I so need someone to point me in the right direction.

thanks so much to anyone who answares this. keep in mind this is for a Electric guitar. to btw.

once again thanks.

That is what is known as a power chord, and all 3 notes are played at the same time.
use your 1st 3rd and 4th fingers to play all notes together.


as an alternate you can also just use your 1st and 3rd finger to play either the first 2 notes..or all 3

Just do a search for basic guitar, or guitar instruction on Youtube/Google.
