This is technically Flake Music (James Mercer's previous band), but whatever. This tab is MOSTLY
correct, but it is my first one so I can't promise it's perfect. Also, the notes I posted in the
instrumental sections are a combination of the lead guitar and bass in the effort to make it
sound as good as possible when performing this solo.
