the '13':)

(The slide from '5' to '13' happens on count 1, all the way into count 2. And when going
the verse, simply slide all the way down the bridge (into nothingness...))

(There isn't a verse on the official recording, but when played live, I always see Caleb
do a palm-mutted version of the pre-verse)

but with the power chords thrown in.)
