[Intro] 0:00
This song was originally recorded with a loop pedal. Because of this, the main riff played in
the intro is going to be played throughout most of the song. This tab is going to be
revolving around how to play the song with said loop pedal.
If you want to play this song without a loop pedal, I would recommend you just play
the main intro riff over and over until the outro. You could also throw the small
accent melody, that you'll see later, into your playing as well.

After the first time through the main riff in this section, you're going to add
this little accent melody into the riff while it's looping. You're not looping this
small part, it's being played manually by you.

In the background melody, a delay pedal is still being used for this. The notes in
() are optional because they are not played manually.
