 VERSES:
 
 PLAY RHYTHM 1 (Both Guitars). Dave sticks fairly close to the
 picking pattern but Adrian varies it sligthly. Dave's guitar has a
 phaser on it and Adrians is chorused.
 At the end of the verses in place of the Gsus4 chord of RHYTHM 1
 slide up and down the bottom E string to cover up turning on the
 distortion.
