Personally this is my favorite song off of "No Rain, No Rainbow." It's intense, jumpy
frenetic. It should be 99% accurate... it's just that the Guitar 2 part during the verses
a little hard to pick up... but we only care about Guitar 1 right? And during the 
there's some complicated rhythms so the number of strums may or may not be right but
sure you'll figure them out :P. ENJOY!! Comments and ratings are greatly appreciated =].

**UPDATED 4/19/10**
--fixed Guitar 2 Verse harmony by a shitload!

Guitar 2:
NOTE: Guitar 2 in essence just plays the open B and F# strings, so it's
really the same as Guitar 1, but without the lead notes.


CHORUS---
[repeat INTRO/CHORUS x2]

I shot the maid, what more can I say?...
I killed her, it was an accident...
How will I ever clean up this mess?..."

VERSE 2---
[repeat VERSE 1, except with a harder, more rapid hit in a certain area... listen and
find it]
(1:18-1:38)
"I saw her face and watched her dying breath...
I'll never, ever forget those beautiful eyes...
There's so much blood all over this place...
There's so much blood, it's on everything..."


REPEAT PRECHORUS---
(1:39-2:01)
"I'd better think fast...
What do I do?...
Think fast on this murder, murder...
What have you done, murderer, murderer?...
What have I done?..."


REPEAT INTRO/CHORUS x2---
(2:02-2:22)
"I can't believe I've done this horrible thing...
I shot the maid, what more can I say?...
I killed her, it was an accident...
How will I ever clean up this mess?..."
