Intro

(Free Time)

The Intro Is a little weird i saw some guy doing this on a video,
and i thought it was cool so i figured it out. Lay your right hand's
1st finger on top of the strings on the 12th fret. Do not press down
just rest your finger gently on top of the strings. Then pull of on the
fret as directed below and you'll get a cool harmonic sound.

Outro [Chorus] (repeat till fade)

when it fades out completely the lead guitar ends the song with this harmonic.
To get this harmonic do what it said for the intro but you're not doing
the pull off hammer on harmonic. all you do is take your finger off the
strings as you pluck them and you get and artificial harmonic.
