G3 do not correspond to the rhythm of G1&2's tab. Listen

Under the entire song (excluding the intro and outro)
is a 4th guitar playing _seemingly_ at random these
three notes, something like the following:

Well, there's Whir for you. I still can't figure out the
E's and other chords under the chorus (Whir yourself around...
part) If you know it please E-mail me. Enjoy it. Hope
it's not too confusing (I didn't wanna tab out repetitive
lines) and it helps out. Please send comments to
