E)---0--0--0----------------------------

Then:

        "I tell you what to think"

G)-----------9----------------------8----------------
D)---------------------------------------------------
A)--7-7-7---------7--------6-6-6----------6----------
E)---------------------------------------------------

G)-----------7------------------------6--------------
D)---------------------------------------------------
A)--5-5-5---------5--------4-4-4----------4--5-------
E)---------------------------------------------------

For the outro, play the chorus riff and finish with an E5 chord.
And that's it.
