-5~- hold note
-X- mute note

+ major beats (1,2,3,4,5,6)
- ands (1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 &)

Oh Fun! This song?s in 6/8 and 7/8! It?s also probably on a 5 string. During the chorus
I?m going to put in the low ?B? string. If you only have a four string do not despair,
because Tony Levin only plays low ?D?. You can play this song in drop ?D?, but it?s just 
ridiculously more difficult. Enjoy!
