Standard Tuning
4/4 time (funny little two-step dance optional)
Key: % : repeat measure
- : minor chord
/ : a rest
| : two of them delimit a measure
~ : vibrato
* The song is based on straight-eighths with a few variations. Each line
of lyrics is four measures.
* Tom's part is straight off the key of C The fills may not
match exactly, but anyone should be able to time them right.

Fills:
(For simplicity...i notated them linearly on as few strings as possible)
(I play these fills with the distortion way up)
(For a fuller less tinny sound, i play octaves, you can use an octaver)
