[Instrumental Break](Based roughly on the Stinkweeds, Pheonix, AZ (1996) performance: Note: I think you should make the instrumental section your own, and Elliott didn't play it live quite like he did on the recording anyway. What I tabbed below is a rough approximation of what he plays during the above concert. From what I can tell, everything else is the same as the verse except for the last two chords, which are probably x42x2x to x3201x or something similar.
