NOTES:
- Timing can be a bit tricky, listen closely to the recording to figure it out.
- The whole song can be played a whole octave lower, this is just how the
  studio version is (which sounds better imo).
- This seems to be how Greg plays it live. He uses a pick to play faster than
  the original, but fingers sound fine too.
