* = Deaden after 1 beatGUITAR II
---------
This is an acoustic guitar capoed at the 2nd fret. A good clue for
figuring this out is the recognizable D-Dsus4-D chord progression,
which happens to be a whole-tone sharp. As usual for capoed guitar
parts, I have given fret numbers relative to the capo and named chords
as if they were being played in standard tuning.

Rhythmn 1b:
Same as above except that the first two bars are played 3 times
before playing bars 3 & 4 (i.e. 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 4).Fill 1:
This may not be 100% accurate, but it's pretty close. I find it
easiest to play this part using my thumb and fingers on my right hand
(no pick).

D = Deaden string with right handGUITAR III
----------
This acoustic guitar is playing the same chords used in the Riffs.
The open A string is definitely present, which means the guitar is not
capoed. If you want to play this part on guitar II, I would suggest
playing the low A chord using a standard barre shape, 5776xx (these
are actual frets, not relative to the capo). For the rest of the
chords, play what's given below without the open A string.

This song takes a little practise, but it's really good when
you get it correct (and unplugged!). Don't give up!
I'd seen a few tabs for this song, but none were quite
right, so I have tabbed the whole thing out from ear.
Dots below the bar in this tab mean to raise your fingers
ever so slightly on the fretboard, to achieve a loud
acoustic muting sound (that will have an overtone of the
chord). If you like this tab please tell me: ryan at
