Sleepflower Guitar TAB

Notation:  b - bend string up to shown fret no.
           l - let string down to shown fret no.
           / - slide up

Intro/main riff:

D-----------3-2---------------------0---------------------
A-----0-0-0-----0-3-3-0-2-3-2-0---------3-2---------------
E-/(5)----------------------------3----3-----3-1-1-0-1-3-3-

This is an easy version as playing constant fifths is tricky - they can be
added in places, or you can just put heavy overdrive on to add effect...
There is a second guitar part, it plays not 2 octaves higher but plays high,
quiet notes that come down from high up in harmony with the main riff - not
really important but I can do it if anyone is desperate...

Chorus is G5, D5, F5, C5, B5, G5

Middle section/interlude:

Starts with an A5 chord with one guitar playing
D-----9-
A-------
E-7-8---

Then it's Aminor, Gminor (both barre chords) and A major which is
E--0-------
B--2-2-3-2-
G--2-------
D--2-------
A--0-------

Then C5, Bb5 and Amajor played as above.

Main riff, then...
