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.
