[Notes]
Nothing really difficult about the song at all. Take note of the rhythms in the instrumental
section/last chorus, though. I don't normally put bar lines in my tab staves, but I have here,
along with the time signature shifts, to make it all kind of make sense.
As always, here's a video of me playing it:

Let last notes ring out and "wobble" in dissonance a bit.
