Verses:
There are two different guitar effects used in the verses.
The first is created by using a delay with some overdrive
and hitting this chord:
|-----3------|
|-----3------|
|-----3------|
|-----3------|
|------------|
|------------|
The second effect is created by using a whammy pedal,overdrive
and delay to create spacey sound effects by hitting notes,
swelling them up with the volume knob(on the guitar) and bending
them up or down with the whammy pedal....Just be creative in this
area.
Second Chorus:Same as the first except you play with the first
line of the chorus with this: We--
Don't get down Like we used to we used to be To-
|-0--------0-X-------0-------0-X----------0----0----0---|
|-0--------0-X-------0-------0-X----------3////5\\\\3~0-|
