Intro 

Bass (Russell) 

Right my guess is that even thought there isn't a traditional bass (Russell doesn't play 
one live), I think the bass in the song is just bending a low C back and forth between 
C# like so

Lead Guitar (Chris) 

Right that weird noise that sounds like a saw can be recreated on a guitar by 
experimenting around on a lot of different effects on a pedal (maybe a lot of wah or  
reverb) but 
again its just a C, and this little note recurs fairly frequently throughout the song 

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

It goes on for eight beats essentially 

Verse 

Chris doesn't do much in the first verse, but in the second i'm pretty sure he just 
shreds (or tremelo picks) a C 

e|--8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888---|

he then plays this little riff after tom sings "take and you shall receive" and in the 
second verse its "you're a secret only I know", but you can play it whenever really

Solo 

This is the cool little synth solo chris does on his keyboard, just before the breakdown
