3. The National Anthem

D---4--0--0-0---4--0--0--0-0----3--0--0--0---2--0--0--0-0  (repeat)
 

Hear is Jonny's martenot riff that he plays on the intro and after the 1st
and 2nd verses and throughout the end of the song.
I tabbed it out for guitar but it sounds better played on a keyboard with a
weird effect. So next to the numbers on the fret I will include the note if
you want to play it on a keyboard.
