"I've got some poison on the brain"
************************************
In the chorus, a better way to play the back and forth octave is to bend from the 6th fret on the D string but
it is harder to do this quickly and accurately so I prefer to slide the octave, but if you can bend better
than me (most guitarists), give it a shot.
