The Caesars
Sort It Out
Youth is Wasted on the Young/39 Minutes of Bliss (In an Otherwise Meaningless World)
Tuning: Standard
Key: where n = whatever note
n* - Alternate/optional note
(n) - Ghost note (somewhat optional)
Updated October 14, 2011 (I've made a large number of changes)
I'm sure that this is 95-100% correct.
Don't be frightened about the way the intro and outro to Guitars 1 & 2 looks. It's
not that hard, it just has a lot of variations and optional notes.
Guitar 1 - Electric, some distortion
Guitar 2 - Nylon string (maybe finger picked, not sure)
Guitar 3 - In the song, this is not a guitar. It's a keyboard. It has been
transcribed from keyboard to guitar.
Guitar 4 - Electric, some distortion. (in the recording, it was probably dubbed in)

-The open E I believe is played on the bass, but you can play it to make the riff
sound a bit more complete.
