Tuning: Standard EADGBe
- I've included the counting to help with the rhythm since it can get pretty weird with the delay.
- The chords to the song are basically E and A all the way through if youre
insterested in strumming.
- If the delay is set properly, this is all you have to play. The effect will fill in the gaps.

Everything else in the song is built off of these basic patterns.
Here are a few of the fills that he throws in here and there in the song.
It is to complicated to map out each variation here.
There is a "solo" at the end of the song but its hard to hear and I didn't really
think it was substantial enough to take the time to tab.
