Guitar tab by Adam Nopants
Hey everybody, I was tired of people leaving out the second guitar in some places and
the verses wrong, so I decided to write this...this is my first but I'll be working on a
waiting bass tab soon.
/ -slide
dot under parts of tab -palm mute
~ -let the note ring

Guitar 2
Note: if you play it and it sounds like it clashes a bit, it's ok, it's meant to. play
lightly behind the rythym guitar.

Guitar 2. This part is hard to hear and get at first, and kind of unnecessary, so leave
out if you want to. if you don't want to, go ahead. It comes in on the third time the
part plays. it plays four times with a palm mute, then twice without it.
