Backsell
All power chords except for the Arpeggio part
For the F Chord I use x 8 10 10 x x 
With each chord that isn't in the chorus or verse you should chug. 
(Intro/After first chorus/Outro)
Each F represents a down/up stroke
Intro:            F   F            F    F   F            F   C       C   Bb  Bb

FI was scanning through the stations
FEvery channel sounded clear
CWith tempo like a timepiece
BbYou know you are on a grid  you just slide the snare
FNo worries for admission  
FCause we got you on the list
CBut when your boy found out we don’t put out
BbYou know his face turned red  and he got so pissed 
CNow there is a message on my cell phone everyday
F    arpeggio

Bb“This is Joel Mark from MCA”
F  arpeggio
