this song is remotely simple , but im not going to claim that this is the best way of it . ive been dying to play an acoustic version of this for a while , so its just a simple diagram with some fills for emphasis . also , apologies for the masses of writing under the chords , theyre basically just you how i choose to play it ignore them if you wish! and sorry if you cant understand my of writing this chord structure . . it does make sense , dont worry . enjoy : ) xchords used for Intro and Chorus Em F# G G# A B C E | - - 0 - - 2 - - 3 - - 4 - - 5 - - 7 - - 8 - - | B | - - 0 - - 2 - - 3 - - 4 - - 5 - - 7 - - 8 - - | G | - - 0 - - 3 - - 4 - - 5 - - 6 - - 8 - - 9 - - | D | - - 2 - - 4 - - 5 - - 6 - - 7 - - 9 - - 10 - | A | - - 2 - - 4 - - 5 - - 6 - - 7 - - 9 - - 10 - | E | - - 0 - - 2 - - 3 - - 4 - - 5 - - 7 - - 8 - - | Intro Em F# ( im sure when you listen to the song youll be able to figure out where it changes with two chords ) ( 0 : 26 ) Em F# ( pm ) ( 0 : 37 ) F# ( pm ) ( i choose to palm mute this bit to emphasise the lead riff , so you dont have to if you want to , and if you think that using minor chords works better , i really dont mind , is just a base for the notes used! ) F# E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | B | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | G | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | D | - - - - - - - - - 2 - - - - | A | - - - 2 - - 4 - - - - - - - | E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | F# G# A B E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | B | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | G | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | D | - - - - - - - - - 7 - - - - | A | - - - 7 - - 9 - - - - - - - | E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | F# E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | B | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | G | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | D | - - - - - - - - - 2 - - - - | A | - - - 2 - - 4 - - - - - - - | E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ( this bit is a little bit hazy because its played reasonably fast , so im not entirely if its correct - here is the rhythm that i use ) F# E E | - - 2 - - 2 - 2 - - 2 - 2 - - 2 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - - | B | - - 2 - - 2 - 2 - - 2 - 2 - - 2 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - - | G | - - 3 - - 3 - 3 - - 3 - 3 - - 3 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - - | D | - - 4 - - 4 - 4 - - 4 - 4 - - 4 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - - | A | - - 4 - - 4 - 4 - - 4 - 4 - - 4 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - - | E | - - 2 - - 2 - 2 - - 2 - 2 - - 2 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - - | B A E | - - 7 - - 7 - 7 - - 7 - 7 - - 7 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - - | B | - - 7 - - 7 - 7 - - 7 - 7 - - 7 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - - | G | - - 8 - - 8 - 8 - - 8 - 8 - - 8 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - - | D | - - 9 - - 9 - 9 - - 9 - 9 - - 9 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 7 - - | A | - - 9 - - 9 - 9 - - 9 - 9 - - 9 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 7 - - | E | - - 7 - - 7 - 7 - - 7 - 7 - - 7 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - - | ( it works best if you keep up a rhythm with these chords , and any which ive put in you dont necessarily need to play for it to sound good , theyre just for addEd effect . and the Verse , you can just use the normal chord shape , because the barred chords will start hurt your hands after a while . . but its much easier to use them for the Chorus! ) F# E you can hide your eyes , you can dim the lights , but they are watching F# this is a new time , with a different kind , they are the future B A the only one F# E this is the final call for the setting sun when they get closer F# now with a fall from grace , they will be done , the show is over B F# its a new dawn G F# just leave this place behind G F# ill clear your bloodshot mind B A B they only wanted your life on demand ( C ) B ( A ) F# this is a better way F# E they are standing by , no time to hide , no meeting half way F# you were sucking life through the needles eye , this is a new day B A and they have won F# E we will surrender now , or be outdone , left in the open F# its the cooling of the risen , they are the future B A B F# the future F# with all your fears combined , the manifest was refined F# i know you really tried to understand F# this is a new way ( for the above bit , i just keep repeating the F# since youd need power chords to get song perfect ) Outro ( from 3 : 28 ) F# ( 3 : 50 ) F# B E F# ( 3 : 56 ) A F# A F# ( 4 : 01 ) B A G# F# B F# its a new dawn apologies if the Outro is wrong , but then you only really need that bit if youre doing duet with the lead as well . thank you , and enjoy! x
