"Smoke" by Ben Folds Five
Tabbed by Tim Swan
This song has one main part during the verse (A-8-10-7-8) and then is improvised on. It is played in segments of four. On the second and fourth is were you improvise. I have tabbed most of them but did leave some in the middle.

I didn't tab out the next verse "here's an evening dark..." these parts
are just the same as a regular verse and I just don't want to tab out all the little parts.
