I just can't get this bastard right? I've watched it on various live versions, tried GTW and I still feel a bit off.

    I've watched Ed play this and pretty sure i have it 100% correct, check my (old) cover here


    please ignore the poor strumming style, i was still learning back then. How i play it is how ed plays it though in terms of chords

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwH5ry_IbKc

    the bridge starts off with this chord (low to high) - X 8 7 0 8 8 then change to power chord 8 10 10 9 then 7 9 9 8 then 6 8 8 7 then X 8 7 0 8 X, then he repeats

    enjoy

    edit: this is my fav live version of this song (i was there hehe) and you can see him play the whole bridge
