then repeat the riff above 5X and then

e[-11--12------]

Note that the Final chorus sounds a lot like the normal chorus, except Dan plucks once 
each note change and lets it ring.

Please note that I am very precise on the timing, watch the notch(-)count
between notes.

Please rate and comment! I hope this tab is helpful, and that you all have fun playin' it!
