Lithium


no bass until the 2nd first verse.

Bass comes in at the first chorus:

G----------------------------------------------------------|
D------------7----5-5-5----5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-----------------|
A-------4----------------7-----------------2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-|
E--0--0----0----0------------------------------------------|

Then, the second (and third) verse:

G-----------------------------------------------------|
D----------------------7--7-7-9-9-9-9-----------------|
A--7--7-6--6-4--4---------------------2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-|
E-----------------5--5--------------------------------|

The last time you play the above (last one before the chorus):

G------------------------------------------------------|
D--------------------------7-------5-------------------| 
A--7--7-6--6-4--4------5-5---5-3-3---3-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-|
E-----------------5--5---------------------------------|

Play the chorus again, then the _other chorus_:

G------------------------------------------------------------|
D--------------------------5-7--7-7-5---5--------------------|
A---------3--3-3-----3-5-7------------7---7--7-5-3-0-3-0-3-5-|
E--5--5-5--------5-5-----------------------------------------|

The bridge part, going into the third verse of ending the song:

G---------------------------------||---|
D---------------------------------||---|
A--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0------||---|
E----------------------------0-3--||-0-|
                                     ^
                                 End of song only.

Oh, and one time, the very last repetition of the _other chorus_ part
during the second time its played, there is a variation that goes like
this:

G----------------------------------------------5-------------|
D--------------------------5--7--7-7-5---5-7-7---7-5---------| 
A---------3--3-3-----3-5-7-------------7-------------7-6-5-3-|
G--5--5-5--------5-5-----------------------------------------| 
Then go into the above bridge part.

then end with this:

Near the end already!  Now just go back and play verse 3, then play the chorus as written,
but on the third repeat of the chorus play only the first three bars (don't play the 3rd
ending!!) Instead, jump to the following and play to the end:

                              (play 3 times)
