This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song Notes:

-----------

Apart from the main guitar arpeggios no other guitar parts are played during

the song, but I've arranged the synths to be played on a guitar.

================================================================================

Part 1: Guitar 1 (Clean w/ Octave Pedal) [ Time 00:00 - 00:36 ]

================================================================================

The octave pedal is set to be one octaver higher than the written notes. The

written notes are also audible.

* Let notes ring wherever possible *

||--------5--------5-----5--|--0--------------5-----5--|*|
||-----7--------------7-----|--------------0-----------|*| x 2

Rest for 8 bars
