[Verse 1]
(The guitar starts on the second part of the verse)
(Wah pedal is on throughout this part. Start with the pedal rocked all the way back and then start to sweep
it forward near the end so that the last few notes are with the pedal all the way forward. Don't forget to
quickly get the pedal back in position to start it all over again.)

effects on the guitar)
