  ENDING

  

  -Guitar play chorus 4 times and then end on E chord.

  -Bass play chorus 4 times and then end on Ab:-7-

  

  

  That's pretty much the whole song.  The strumming patterns probably not

  exact, just listen to the CD and you'll get a feel for the right patterns.  

  The bassline is pretty simplified because I'm not a true bass player.  I 

  know Mike Dirnt adds his stuff in between, but I just gave the basic idea.
