Hey folks - It's been a while but I'm continuing my quest to tab out this whole album. I
had pretty much convinced myself that this whole album was in D standard, but that
illusion was shattered when I heard how crisp the opening chord in this song and the 
open high e string in the opening riff to "My Only Friend" are.

This is a neat little tune that I wasn't too fond of upon album's release, but the drums
in the buildup just get me every time now. Cool song, for sure.

Song is in Standard tuning - EADGBE
