The song has two basic main riffs. The first is always played over the phone
conversation with the second riff thrown in on the end. the second riff appears
in the verses as well. I tabbed out the phone conversation riff as one tab but
you will recognize the restatement in the riff2 for verses. As usual- it helps
to listen to the song to get the feel right.
