This is a very un-311 song, but I personally think it is amazing.
Arguably their best song in terms of songwriting. Pharell from
N.E.R.D. says it's "tha shit". Enjoy.
INTRO, VERSES 1&2
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
b|--------------------------------------------------------|
g|-6-----6-----6-----6------4-----4-----4-----4-----------|
d|----6-----6-----6-----6------7-----7-----7-----7--------|
a|--------------------------------------------------------|
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
The implied chord progression here is C#m-A, and this part
is backed by a root note melody from an organ or MIDI effect.
PRECHORUS
F#m E
e|--2-----2------0---------------0------------------------|
b|--2-----2------0------------0--------0------------------|
g|--2-----2------1---------1------------------------------|
d|--4-----4------2------2---------------------------------|
a|---------------2----------------------------------------|
e|---------------0----------------------------------------|
* * * = staccato
Listen to the recording for the rhythm
CHORUS
Just alternate between D7 (x00212) and A (x02220)
BRIDGE
G#m--A--G#m--B--A--G#m--E--B
* * * * = staccato
G#m--A--G#m--B--A--E--B
* * *
You can get the rhythm easily from the recording. The non-
staccato chords are fast runs that follow the vocals.
This is backed by:
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
b|--------------4------------------------5----------------|
g|-----4-----4-----4-----4------6-----6-----6-----6-------|
d|--6-----6-----------6------7-----7-----------7----------|
a|--------------------------------------------------------|
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
b|--------------4-----------------------------------------|
g|-----4-----4-----4-----4------4---2-----1---------------|
d|--6-----6-----------6-------------------------2----1~~~-|
a|--------------------------------------------------------|
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
Play that twice, then
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
b|------------------4-------------------------------------|
g|--------------2-----------------------------------------|
d|------1---4---------------------------------------------|
a|--2-----------------------------------------------------|
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
VERSE 3
Strum the C#m-A chord progression insteads of picking it as
in 1&2. Easy. The chord changes are backed by these runs:
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
b|-----------------------5--------------------------------|
g|--------4--5--6-----------6-----------------------------|
d|--6--7-----------------------7--------------------------|
a|--------------------------------------------------------|
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
Head to the prechorus again and then another chorus. End on
the A chord.
