What a funky track! There's 2 acoustic guitars in this track. Guitar 1 provides
the main guitar parts for the track and has a capo on the 2nd fret. Guitar 2
has a small lead part at the beginning over the intro and verse 1 and provides
a more thickened last chorus with staccatoed chords. 
Enjoy!

Guitar 1 - Acoustic Guitar ***CAPO 2ND FRET***

Carrying a message of hope

I found a power on a dusty shelf 
Hey! the languages I learned
Now I'm so powerful I hurt myself 
I hurt myself 
I feel kind of limbic brain
Like the library of an astronaut
Found hidden in a pyramid 
Shadowing a body of thought

Madam I'm Adam, I'm a palindrome

Twisting tales and spinning lines
