Chords
Drop D (perhaps drop C--so transpose up a whole step, e.g. Dm=Em)
Chords are mostly power chords, so Dm is implied; chorus chords sound full
I Label this key as Dm/F, since it ends on the F, but it feels a bit like Gm, which is
the relative minor of Bb. In the outro, it sounds somewhat like the piano is staying on Gm
and moving the bass note as opposed to changing to the chord of the bass note.
{Intro]
Bass: Dm Bb A x4 (last A begins Verse 1)
eerie sounds made by a waterphone, perhaps the apprehension engine
[Verse 1] (Bass continues N.C. - no guitar)
