This whole tab should not be taken literally, it is right in its own sense and it is how 
played (starring at tim's hand the whole time at a show when youre 3 feet away usually 
it) but you need listen for timing of these chords and harmonics. this is in its own sense a guide.


tune your low e to b and your a to g. if you dont understand this, learn.


these are all harmonics, listen for strumming pattern. (barring onto the g and b is optional as well)
