There are two ways to play the verse, there is the easy way, which has been tabbed 
and the way Matt plays it, I will tab both and you can decide which is easier, I personally 
both)


Verse (version one)

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---5-5-x-3-3-x-8-8-x-1-1-x-5-5-x-3-3-x-8-8-x-1-1-x-x-----------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The x's can be replaced with the previous note, to look like this if you like...

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---5-5-5-3-3-3-8-8-8-1-1-1-5-5-5-3-3-3-8-8-8-1-1-1-1-----------------------|
