The dots are equal 1/8s.

Don't strum, just continue playing the intro.

[Em]  Thorn in my [C]side
[G]  You're always [D]there
[Em]  Just to re[C]mind me
[G]  That I still [D]care

start strumming; if you're playing the song with 2 guitars,
one of them continues playing the intro.

[Em]  Thorn in my [C]side
  You won't[G] let me [D]go
[Em]  Right there be[C]side me
[G]  To let me [D]know

Hit C and G chords twice; strum D chords.

  I've been[C] pushed around
[G]  Been knocked down
[D]  Lost a round or three
  Life[C] took a couple of
  [G]Things I loved when I was
[D]  Too blind to see

One guitar strums the chords,
to see what the other one does,
have a look at the tab version;
() means hit the chord and then mute right away.

But [C]I'l[G]l sur[D]vive
I gave [C]up on luck
But [G]I'm still getting [D]by
Yeah, [C]I'[G]m gonna be a[D]lright
You can [C]test [C]my faith
But [G]you [G]can't take my [D]pride
Thorn in my [Em]side
Thorn in my [C]side, Woh oh oh [G]oh   [D]

Like verse 2, or play only the intro with light distortion.

[Em]  Thorn in my [C]side
[G]  You just won't [D]quit
[Em]  Once in a while when I [C]crack a smile
[G]  You rub my [D]face in it

Only strum the chords, stop playing the intro.

[Em]  Thorn in my [C]side
  You won't[G] let me [D]run
[Em]  God bless the [C]fights
  That I've[G] lost and [D]won

Like chorus 1.

But [C]I'l[G]l sur[D]vive
I gave [C]up on luck
But [G]I'm still getting [D]by
Yeah, [C]I'[G]m gonna be a[D]lright
You can [C]test [C]my faith
But [G]you [G]can't take my [D]pride
Thorn in my [Em]side
Thorn in my [C]side
Thorn in my [G]side[D]
Thorn in my [Em]side
Thorn in my [C]side
Thorn in my [G]side[D]

[Em]   [C]    [G]    [D]    [Em]   [C]    [G]    [D]    [D]    [D]    [D]    [D]

The dots are equal 1/8s again.

Like bridge 1.

  I've been[C] pushed around
[G]  Been knocked down
[D]  Lost a round or three
  Life[C] took a couple of
  [G]Things I loved when I was
[D]  Too blind to see

Like chorus 1 and 2.

But [C]I'l[G]l sur[D]vive
I gave [C]up on luck
But [G]I'm still getting [D]by
Yeah, [C]I'[G]m gonna be a[D]lright
You can [C]test [C]my faith
But [G]you [G]can't take my [D]pride
Thorn in my [Em]side
Thorn in my [C]side
Thorn in my [G]side[D]
Thorn in my [Em]side
Thorn in my [C]side
Thorn in my [G]side[D]     [Em]
