repeat part (1), then (2), then (3) and then (4)
so everything actually... :-)

then you repeat part (1), but not entirely. Do it like this:


   ^              Am     G  Am                 Am     G  Em

   (distortion)
                                                                        (5)

                  Em     G  Am     
E |--------------|0-0-0--3--5--|
A |5-6-8-6-5---5-|0-0-0--3--5--|

G |--------------|2-2-2--5--7--|
B |--------------|2-2-2--5--7--|
E |--------------|0-0-0--3--5--|

                            (clean)

And here you need to slow down a little while you're playing.
----------------------------------------------------------------
^ = Play these notes up to down in a slight move so you can here every note of 
them.
    You can here it very good at the beginning of the song.

d = Hit the snares down

u = Hit the snares up
