1|-5-8----7-play this three times, once again each chord getting played for a whole four beats.
This is where APC changes the song and makes it all dark and minor sounding. Play this with some delay, still clean

…Say hello to the rugs topography…..
Do this for a while then we have a little instrumental break where each guitarist does a little solo,
Gtr 2 james, comes in first. 2 solos played together sounds awesome as they harmonize and produce little chords. Use distortion

Use a wah while playing this part, tremolo pick each not, last time playing this bend the note up and just keep bending until you cut off. I think they play this part 2 times
Outro, just one guitar, clean

5|-9-------9

Each chord played for a whole note, let last chord ring
And that’s the whole thing. Im sure that some parts a little little confusing, like the little solos played inbetween verses but just listen to a recording and youll get it
