Song Notes:
-----------------------
This is my own acoustic arrangement of the song; as far as I know the band has
never played it like this but I arranged it this way so that it's both simple
to play and doesn't involve Drop-D tuning (which is how the original is tuned).

When the C is to be played as it is above I will display it as [C~], otherwise
it is to be played normally.
