for the timings of them. The baseline goes as follows, and the second half can go on the

This tab is still being worked on, but this is the whole written part of the song. I'm 
the improv'd part of the song, but it's long and confusing so I'll get it in as soon as I can.

For now, here's the last verse/chorus. It's slightly changed. Make it jazzy, and put character into it.
