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

I strongly believe that the phaser used is the Mu-tron

Bi-phase. They've used it before and mine can mimic

this sound exactly. For those who have one, here's my

settings:

Phasor A only, Sweep: just below 2, Depth: 7, Feedback: 7.5

so speak your peace

in the murmurs drawn

but youth is wasted

I strongly believe that the phaser used is the Mu-tron

Bi-phase. They've used it before and mine can mimic

this sound exactly. For those who have one, here's my

settings:

Phasor A only, Sweep: just below 2, Depth: 7, Feedback: 7.5
