Tuning: Standard EADGBe
this song is played by using a plectrum, rather
than a finger picking technique, but i find it easier to fingerpick the
riff
to achieve an authentic effect on your guitar like it is in the song,
use quite a lot of distortion so each note sounds crisp when it rings
and use a bit of reverb, too.

then the verse comes in, "under our bed, a monster lives". you can play
the chords again like on the first verse, but on the actual song, the
guitar isn't being played.
another riff is played over the top of the lyrics:

it starts with the lyrics, "when he put you to bed..."
play these chords.
(again, refer to the song for the strumming pattern.)

you can play the VERSE CHORDS over the top, if you wish, although the
