None of the other tabs made much sense so I thought I'd post how I make the right
noises, although this is most probably nothing like how Drake played it. I have a lot of fun
with the main riff in this tuning and I hope you guys will too. It wasn't really
possible to tab every scratch and inflection so I tried to make it as basic as possible. Hopefully
you can figure a rhythm and add your own interpretations.

That's about all you need to figure the rest out I think. It's pretty similar throughout
and the changes are rather incidental. I prefer to make them up as I go along anyway
rather than figuring every nuance, especially when it comes to tricksters like Nick!
