Tabbed By: Ian Dulley (iandulley@yahoo.co.uk)

Standard Tuning: EADGBe

For the most part of this song Jonah plays slightly muted, so just rest your
palm on the bridge and apply the right amount of pressure. Some notes are
more muted than others so listen to the recording for the right sound.
Play most of the chords as 5ths: 
eg:
   E  F# G# A  B  C   D   A  B  C  D
e|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|------------------------2--4--5--7-|
D|-2--4--6--7--9--10--12--2--4--5--7-|
A|-2--4--6--7--9--10--12--0--2--3--5-|
E|-0--2--4--5--7--8---10-------------|

then resort to sliding 5ths.

That's practically it, just add little bits here and there, cos that's
what Jonah seems to do. Also, find someone to do those swirly keyboard
