THIS IS A FANTASTIC SONG, AND TO CAP IT OFF, FANTASTICALLY EASY TO PLAY.

INTRODUCTION
AFTER THE DRUMS HAVE PLAYED FOR A BIT, GUITAR COMES IN WITH THIS.

(LOW)D-5----7----5-2----0-2-2--5-2 

THIS REPEATS GOD KNOWS HOW MANY TIMES WITH THE BASS COMING THROUGH AND THEN SOME AAHHING.
I ALWAYS TEND TO PLAY IT WITH POWERCHORDS AS IT PROGRESSES TO ADD MORE EFFECT BUT THAT IS 
UP TO YOU.

VERSE

WAIT FOR SINGING, THEN PLAY, THEN WAIT FOR SINGING AGAIN.
