Play only the root on the first beat of each change: C# (bars 1–2, C#5), E (bar 3, E5), D# (bar 3, beat 3, D#5), C# (bars 4–5, C#5), E (bar 6, E5), F# (bar 6, beat 3, F#5), E (bar 7, E5), D# (bar 7, beat 3, D#5), C# (bar 8, C#5). Keep counting through every bar that holds the same chord; the form resolves back to C#.
These are power chords, so there is no third to target. Alternate root and fifth on each change: C#–G# over C#5, E–B over E5, D#–A# over D#5, F#–C# over F#5.
