I've noticed there're a lot of tabs for this song and I don't think any one of them has
the whole song right. Like one will have one part right, another will have another right
and so on, so I thought I'd fuse them all together along with what I thought sounded 
right by ear for all to enjoy.

(Saw them live in Nashville. AMAZING!)

This part uses a whammy pedal on the notes on the e string. the '3b' uses some other
