Verse 2:

When Mark plays this live, he accents certain notes by dipping his whammy bar. I'll mark those notes
with a (w), but if you wanna play this verse the way it sounds on the album, just ignore the (w)'s and
palm mute everything.

Chorus 2:

It's hard to write out the timing here so you'll have to just listen closely. Sorry, friend.

Verse 3:

I'm not sure how to convey what to do for the dead notes, but it's essentially a slow, sweepy upstroke.
If that doesn't make sense (which would be fair) watch a live version and you'll see what I mean.

Chorus 3:

Part of this section sounds palm muted, but it's not consistent enough to tab out. Play whatever sounds best.

Outro:

The notes on the low E are what Laura's playing on bass. I think it sounds cool to play both parts at once,
but if you wanna stick to Mark's part just mute the low E.
