These took a long time to transcribe, and I feel they are most suitably played on
guitar with a capo. I replaced the non-harmonic bass tones with
7th chords to make it easier to play on guitar. It's verse, chorus, bridge, verse,
chorus, outro. These are some extremely creative chords, so there may be a
dominant 7th in place of a diminished in some places.
Capo on 3rd fret
