This song is completely amazing. I heard it on WNNX and they mentioned that
this band was from Austin, so I payed special attention cause I lived in
Austin for my whole life and moved to Atlanta this year, and I thoroughly
enjoyed the song.

Prechorus Lead: Something like this

Prechorus Rhythm: Distorted guitar randomly played along with the other two guitar
parts which keep playing what they've been playing, this is an overdubbed
guitar unless they have 3 guitarists. It's really not necessary to play and
is pretty quiet.

Chorus: The mutes at the beginning are occassionally there, but they sound
good, and throw in some mutes during the chorus when there's a chord change
it makes it sound cool, I guess.

Near the end after the bridge, play the chorus a few times and the last time,
play the bridge and end on the D power chord. I love this song.
I think this is a very easy song to play, and it'll sound good with a band.
