... Keep playing until you think you should stop and move on.

Note: For the intro riff I think the keyboards play that 
staticy riff in the backround. If they don't play it, 
I put an attempt at what a guitar would play with some effects 
on.  I don't have the pedals they used...

Triplets used a lot in this song...
