-------------------------------- -------------------------------- Tab by Travis Lausch There's a tab already on UG, but the entire key of that tab is off, as is much of the melody, so I am sitting down with this song and actually listening to the key it's in. There's actually quite a bit more to the guitar than there seems in the song, and I transcribed some parts that may or may not be guitar. I'm arranging it in standard tuning. It may be in another tuning, but standard allows the harmonics I hear in the pre-chorus. Intro/Verse Not sure exactly what effect is used here, but it sounds like whammy pedal.

This note is a secnond guitar or synth fading in.
There's a synth part in the second chorus which can be approximated on guitar by doing this:
|---------------------------/17------|
|------------------------------------|
|------------------/14---------------|
|----------/7------------------------|
|------------------------------------|
|--/5--------------------------------|
Each note lasts one measure.
The bridge/outro goes like this:
