  Very easy to play.  This was adapted from a midi so it isn't all together

  true.  A good basis for future work though.

  

  

  The intro/synth line goes like this:

  E ----------------------------------------------------------

  B ----------------------------------------------------------

  G ----------------------------------------------------------

  D -------0---4---------------0----4---------------0----4----

  A -2--------------0-----2--------------0----2---------------

  E ----------------------------------------------------------

  

  The main synth/bass line goes like this:

  E -----------------------------------------

  B -----------------------------------------

  G -----------------------------------------

  D -----------------------------------------

  A ----------------5------------------------

  E -7-7-5-5-2-----------5-5-7----5-5-7------

  

  Of course, most people find it easier to play like this, but for some

  reason I don't:

  D ----------------0-----------------

  A -2-2-0-0-------------0-2----0-0-2-

  E ---------2------------------------

  

  During the verse, this little riff is played periodically:

  G -------------------------------2-2-2-

  D -4-2-2-4-4-2-2-4-4-2-2-4-4-2-4-------

  

  G -------------------------------4-4-4-

  D -4-2-2-4-4-2-2-4-4-2-2-4-4-2-4-------

  

  The main guitar riff is:

  E -------------------------------------------

  B -------------------------------------------

  G -4---4-4-4----7---7-7-7----9---9-9-9-------

  D -4---4-4-4----7---7-7-7----9---9-9-9---9---

  A -2---2-2-2----5---5-5-5----7---7-7-7---9---

  E ---------------------------------------7---

  

  At "Grey matter, grey matter, oh oh oh oh ..." it just alternates between

  B and D. (2 and 5 on the A string, simply powerchorded)

  

  The only slightly different part is "I... think you like it..."; the

  bass/synth

  line thingo steps down from B to A, so it ends up being:

  E -----------------------------------------

  B -----------------------------------------

  G -----------------------------------------

  D -----------------------------------------

  A ----------------3------------------------

  E -5-5-3-3-0-----------3-3-5----3-3-5------

  

  And the other guitar part during this section goes:

  E -----------------------------------------

  B -----------------------------------------

  G -7-7-7-5---------------------------------

  D -7-7-7-5------5---5-5---5-7-5------------

  A -5-5-5-3------5---5-5---5-7-5------------

  E --------------3---3-3---3-5-3------------
