Verse
In this verse, there is no guitar until he sings "go easy on
the talking". Then the guitar just strums a powerchord, and
hits the low E string while the chord keeps ringing.
It's something like this:
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|--9~----------9~---x-x-x-x-9~---------9~---------------------|
|--9~----------9~---x-x-x-x-9~---------9~---------------------|
