Fun, fast, energetic! The best kind! I saw these guys live, they were great. Also, I was 
them, so I know that this is the fingering he uses. Listen to the recording to get the 
down. Enjoy!

X = Ghost Note (mute the string and pluck it)
/ = Slide Up

No bass until the first chorus.

G|---------------------------------------|
D|-3-------------------------------------|
A|---5---------------------------------0-|
E|-----------------------------------3---|
       When you’re standing there...

Do that three times. Then, during the guitar interlude...

G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|
A|-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-8/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-|
E|-----------------------------------------|

Play that twice, and the second time you can either cut the last note really short or 
it ring for the keyboard interlude.

G|-----------------|
D|-7x7x7x7x8-8-8-8-|
A|-----------------|
E|-----------------|

X3

G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|-7x7x7x7x8-8-8-8-|
E|-----------------|

X2

Repeat those two phrases until the chorus comes in again. Then after the chorus, during 
guitar interlude, play...

G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|
A|-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-8/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-|
E|-----------------------------------------|

X2

G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3/7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
E|---------------------------------|

G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|
A|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-|
E|-----------------------------------------|

As a nice clincher, you can either cut the last note short, let it ring while the guitar 
down, or slide down with the guitar. It’s a matter of preference--it sounds great 
way!
