This the general idea for the strumming that Jeff does for the song.  I use my thumb
to hit the bass note continually, and my ring and middle fingers to do quick strums of
some of the middle strings (it's not precise).  I'll indicate with an "x" when the bass 
note is slapped with the thumb (at leaat for the first verse, because it's an essenstial 
part of the way the song is played, and gives it that eerie sound it has.
