Riffers start out playing the riff (x2)
Chorders start at the same time, playing the “Open/Power chords for Verse” on the sheet.
We play the C Power chords for 2 additional measures at end of the riff before we start to sing Verse 1.
The Verses have the Power Chords; the Chorus has the Cm, F, Cm Dm G
When the riff is played after Verse 2, the Chorders play the Power Chords again.
The Outro is the riff played one more time at the end, along with the Power Chords, ritardo, ending on the C Power chord.
