Verse (17 measures):
--------------------

#Synthesizer:#
Dm Em F C Dm | Em
until two last measures:
(The Sythesizer has an effect on it during the 8 first measures that boucnes from one
to the next
but if you listen closely there is an arpeggio like this:
|--8--8--------8-| |--10---10-------| |--9-------9-----| |------------7---| I think that is what's playing but I'm not sure. After the first 8

the synthesizer
|----------------| is doing the 4 chord progression "Dm Em F C" in whole notes). |----------------|

Dm C A E A C
#Guitar:#
Silent for 15 measures then:

Listen to the song to figure out was he's doing, I think he's just
playing the same chord in arpeggio with a few variances.

#Guitar#: Plays A and G on 4th string in a funky way.

That's it then fade out. I'm sorry about the Synthesizer parts, I couldn't
figure them all out, considering I don't actually OWN a synthesizer, I'm doing all this
an acoustic guitar ^^.
Hope it helps anyway!
