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

Tuning: DGDGBD (Open G)

This song was tough to tab out.  Judging by the video on the Cabin Fever DVD (which is
the take that ended up on ...Until the Freeze) it looks like Rich's right thumb barely
stops moving throughout this song, creating some tricky fingerpicking passages.  Because 
of this, I doubt what I have here is 100% correct (some of the timing between the thumb and
other fingers is definitely off) but I think it's close.

This pattern is the same as the first line of the intro, but Rich adds little changes on
each repeat that I don't have the patience to sit here and tab out.
