Note: I didn't put every note in the largely repeated parts of the intro and
verse, but those should be figured out quite easily. Don't expect the
acoustic parts to sound anything like them played electric, obviously you
can't play the song without 2 guitarists (or a parker fly). On a different
note, greg starts out segue 1 with his heavily overdriven bass (probably the
same notes as the guitar), and the guitar parts come in later, along with
feedback. Also make sure to drop both Eb's to Db's, or else you'll think
this tab really sucks.
