I also did not include picking structures - they're hard to note and easy to figure out once you have the basics. CHORDS: The whole song revolves around a F-B-F-C combo. However, no guitarist plays shords in the background. There are two major parts - the LEAD, and what I'll term "BACKGROUND". BACKGROUND Wait one lead riff to enter, and play behind lead and vocals. E:---------------------------------------- B:----10-08-06-----06------10-08---------- G:---------------07-----------------09-08- D:-------------08------1010-------10------ A:---------------------------------------- E:---------------------------------------- This plays behind vocals and lead until approximately 2.08, when Jonah is finished mimicking a woman's voice.

This continues until the song is completed.
