-5----7----2----5----2----8----5----4----------------------------|
------5---------3----0----6----5---------------------------------|

Notes: Verses have a distorted electric playing with low volume and tremolo effect.

Also a lot of feedback is used during the verses using the A harmonic(7th fret, G string).

It's pretty straightforward, just use your ears and you'll see/hear what's going on.

Sounds like there might be a mellotron or something in there too. Be sure to have that

driving acoustic at the breakdown down--best part of the song! :) Any

questions, comments, requests just shoot me an email. Thanks!
