It may not be 100% accurate, but I bet it's 99%+. I hope you enjoy it, it took me 25-30 hours to figure out, literally, and 2-3 to transcribe. Please listen to the recording to get the proper feel for the timing. r=release Intro: E---------------------------------|-x-----------7-9---12-9----------------- B---------------------------------|-x-------5/9------------9-------9------- G---------------------------------|-x---4-6------------------9-------9h---- D---------------------------------|-2/6------------------------------------ A---------------------------------|-2-------------------------------------- E---------------------------------|-0-------------------------------------- E--------------------x-----------7-9---12-9-------------------------------- B--------------------x-------5/9------------9-------9---------------------- G---11p9-9-----------x---4-6------------------9-------9h11p9-9------------- D--------------------2/6--------------------------------------------------- A--------------------2----------------------------------------------------- E--------------------0----------------------------------------------------- V ^ ^ v ^ v..... let ring....
