      ^these bass notes are very important; strike them hard on your downward rakes!

        upward rake like in the intro

Its pretty much the same theme throughout the song, except during the verses instead of doing this:
E|------------------------------------|
B|-----\5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5--------|
G|-----\6-6-6--6-6-6--6-6-6--6--------|
D|-----\5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5--------|

E|------------------------------0-----|

Do this:

B|-----------------------------x--x----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------x--x----------------------------------------|
D|---2---4---2---4-------2---------------and back to the turnaround--------|
A|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---2\4-----2---2--2--------------------------------------|
