NOTES:

Timing is 4/4.


INTRO:
Notes:
It is not possible to emulate the distorted guitars on an acoustic,
unfortunately.

"Distorted guitar2" strums the two double notes manically. I've shown this
with the "~" (tilda) character, although this usually means "vibrato" in tab.
Here is not vibrato, however, but screeching electric guitar.
