**NOTE**
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not really sure what part the verse, pre-chorus or chorus actually is. Dax has a
very unique way of writing lyrics and I'm not one to tell him or anybody else
what the verse or chorus is. The tab just shows how to play the song from
beginning to end.
