-Intro
The song basically start on a Gm with a Cm in there a la verse, with a bit
of soloing. The soloing is based around G note on the 3rd sting (xx5xxx) and
the C note on the 4th string (xxx5xx). It just messes around with a few
alternations in there, palm mutes and slides. Listen to it, its not hard to
figure out.

-Verse
Its a simple chord progression. There are palm mutes during some verses.
Gm(x3) Cm(x2)
What kind of love have you got?

A room full of noise and dangerous boys

-Solo
The solo is basically the same as the intro, just with more consistency and
different notes for the chords. You can ad-lib this, nobody will be able to
tell.

Thats it. The verse is the same for most of the song, with a few ad-libs in
it. The chorus may be a bit off, but its similar.
