there it is
start to finish
headphones help

contrary to popular belief i dont hear the bass playing the guitar riff..
listen BEHIND the guitar.
i dont have any pedals so i didnt bother posting the different effects used.

the intro/verse can be counted in 10/4 time or 3/4,3/4,4/4
i prefer not the 10/4
the rest of the song is back and forth between 3/4 and 4/4

~ = let ring


riff one.
3/4 3/4 4/4 3x
