then for the chorus play around with these chords the progression is
something like this, but first here are the chords

[B] [D] [A] [G]
e 5 3
b 4 7 5 3
g 4 7 6 4
d 4 7 7 5
a 2 5 7 5
e 5 3
B D A G A
let the word out/I gotta get out/oh im feeling better now
break the news out/i gotta get out/oh im feeling better now
_______________________________________________________________________________
then for the part where they sing "the world starts shaking me down" as far as I can tell
they just palm mute the drum intro "B" chord from above over and over again
_______________________________________________________________________________
then at the end where the saxophone plays it sounds pretty quiet guitar wise
but you can play softly here using the chorus riff
_______________________________________________________________________________
so to summarize the song goes like this
drum intro with guitar
opening riff
verse 1 with opening riff
chorus
opening riff
verse 2 with opening riff
chorus
breakdown(the world starts shaking me down) part
opening riff
chorus repeated multiple times
then the saxophone part to fade out the song using the chorus riff
