*Note: This song has an odd/non-traditional structure. I've tried to label the parts (verse, chorus, bridge,
etc.) as accurately as I can. I may be off, though. The tab is still accurate, though. I suggest that you
listen to the song before attempting to play this. It will help you make better sense of the parts/structure.*
