Key:
: Harmonic

~  : Sustain

Chords used(relative to tuning--so a D is really a Db, etc., etc.):

 D    A   Bm    G    Em   Bb  D/A   C#5addA(not quite sure of the name, but this works)

-7----7----4----5----2----8----7----7----------------------------|
-5----7----2----5----2----8----5----4----------------------------|
------5---------3----0----6----5---------------------------------|

Notes:  Verses have a distorted electric playing with low volume and tremolo effect.
Also a lot of feedback is used during the verses using the A harmonic(7th fret, G string).
It's pretty straightforward, just use your ears and you'll see/hear what's going on.
Sounds like there might be a mellotron or something in there too. Be sure to have that
driving acoustic at the breakdown down--best part of the song! :)  Any
questions, comments, requests just shoot me an email.  Thanks!
