Tabs
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
The timing is critical in this song. It is meticulously spaced as follows:
"-" = 32nd of a beat
'--" = 16th note
"----" = 8th note, and so forth
There are also multiple time changes as noted in the tab (4/4 - 3/4 - 4/4 - 2/4 - etc).
() = Beats not actually played on but noted for clarity
x = optional string tap to add rhythym since they are on the down beats, not essential.
Intro:
Fingers: 3 on "E", 4 on "e", 1 and 2 playing the hammer
(Optional tap in on the guitar body: ONE e & a TWO e & a THREE e & a FOUR e & a)
