The tuning is Drop D, tuned 1 more whole step down (C G C F A D). You'll have to listen
to the song to hear how to place everything. Timing isn't exact, but I tried
getting it close. Listen to the song to get it exact.

Play this when James is singing the stuff like
"This is the cloud that swallows trust"
D|----------------| A|----------------| F|----------------| C|----------------| G|----------------| C|-3-5-5-3-5-5----| Ominous I'm in us part D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| F|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| C|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Then go back to the G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| previous section C|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------------------------|
This is the ending riff that I think is hilarious:
D|-12h17-12h17----|-12-12-12h17----|-12h17-12------| A|-12h17-12h17----|-12-12-12h17----|-12h17-12------| F|----------------|----------------|---------------| x2 C|----------------|----------------|---------------| G|----------------|----------------|---------------| C|----------------|----------------|---------------|
That's it, listen to the song to figure out the whole placement,
what a way to end such a heavy song, eh?
