Transcription by Matt Rasmussen
Please send any comments to mattrasmussen@mail.utexas.edu

This song sounds simple but there is more going on that i originally
thought.  There are a lot of different rhythmes throughout the song
so to make the transcription as readable as possible I tried to line
up the words with the transcription as best I could.  The best thing
to do is to listen to the song several times and try to memorize all
the rhythmes then come back to the tab.  I've left out most of the
"noise" they make with various instruments and effects in the
background.

All guitars tune down 1 half step (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)
