Notes: I THINK the main verse is a hammond organ. Im not sure, so ill tab it
for the guitar anyways, thats how i play it.
During the prechorus there is some HEAVY bending

///VERSE\\\-LET RING THRUOUT
note: to get the kinda sound that the hammond organ makes, well what i do
anyways is have flagner pedal with low batteries (yep) set on high depth but
low rate.

"............................... and shes gone"

3 BASS DRUM BEATS

///CHORUS\\\-Some people write the chords, but actually there arent any
chords at all, just a quiet lead part that kind of gets muffled from the
blasting keyboards during this part. If you listen to it with headphones its
SIMPLE to hear. So about it, i put the chords to, just in case you want it to
sound fuller. Leave the Flanger on, but i think the RATE speeds up a bit.
