This song has a lot tricks to it, so I put some notes in with the tab to help you to
how to play it and have it sound right. As a rule, try to keep your pull-offs nice and
buzzing open strings.
[Intro] Played through most of the song. NOTE: Here, it's very important [1] to remember
include the vibrato and [2] to quickly squeeze the last 0 on the E string in between
5 on the A string and the 3 on the E string. The idea isn't to let it ring; play it and move on.

[Chorus] Sounds like the guitarist strums it once and then lets it ring with a tad bit
delay, but regular strumming sounds fine too.

[Bridge] Lots of improvisation. Here's the tab. Feel it out!
Notes:
[1] When you bend the 7 on the D string, be sure to bring it back from the bend
[2] Let up lightly right after the first 3 on the E string to cut off the note, then let
second one ring right before the open E
