-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a very fun song to play, but ridiculously difficult to tab. There are only two
other versions of this tab floating around right now, and neither has the accurate verses, 
but my tabbing of the verses should be near perfect. 
You'll hear more intricate cymbal work through the first half of each verse, during which you 
play Verse Pt.1. You'll notice the beat becomes more solid through the second half of each verse. 
The cymbals are used less, and the drums begin to pick up. That is where Verse Pt.2 comes in. 

The problem is the chorus. There are at least 4 different chorus variations throughout the song.
For this tab, I've had to stick in two of my own variations as well as a few guesses.
It's difficult to pin it down. But if anyone figures out more of the variations, 
feel free to e-mail them to me and I'll revise this tab. I'll also give credit for the help.
But in the end, putting your own spin on things is half the fun, so don't I wouldn't 
worry about the accuracy of the Chorus variations.
