Tuning: C#m, E A D G B E
There are actually two guitars in this song. I've written this tab for just one.
Most of the little riffs in this song are played in the 2nd and 14th positions using
a pentatonic scale. There's some noodling around during the choruses and during verse 3 that I haven't
gotten down yet. In verse 3, the two guitars are doing distinctly different things.
Additions and corrections welcome.
