 There's some sort of mute effect on this. There are also a few different
 variations on this played throughout the opening. It's not that hard to
 figure out what's different each time, just play along until you get the
 hang of it.



 The rest of the song gets kinda sketchy as to what instruments are playing
 what. Some piano, bass, and drums come in and throw things off. I'm not
 the best at tabbing so here are the basic chords to take you through the
 rest of the song. Play them as bar chords, power chords, piano chords,
 whatever. Improvise.

If chord positions are hard for you (if so, I feel your pain), bar chords
work great on this song. The root notes for the bar chords are as follows.

A string, just subtract 5 from the number. Again, this is in standard tuning.
