[INTRO RIFF](4/4, 2/4)
Here is the little riff before it kicks in. It might
have a short delay on, that's why it was so damn hard
to tab..!

Jonny does delayed scratching a lot and sometimes plays
little delayed licks on the 4th beat:

The chorus riff to "in limbo" has an incorrect part. At
the end of the "chorus riff", it ends on what looks like an Eminor or a
C/B. It actually ends on a C. Here's how it should look:

o Everything in it's right place shouldn't have an F in

[intro]
[C C# D# C]
And it should probably even lack the C at the end (kind of useless)
