TRANSITION (Same as PreChorus)
CHORUS
OUTRO
This is another way to play the Lead Riff. It sounds excellent
on acoustic guitar or just clean. AVA plays it the way I have
it in the tab because its easy to palm mute and work with the
delay. This is just another way to play it if you're going for
no delay, acoustic type sound.
