Happy Lyrics

X - guitar rake (mute strings with fretting hand and strum strings)
x - mute with fretting hand
p.m. - palm mute
\\ - slide down fretboard
() - note is picked silently
Here is a complete tablature with both Guitars, once you get the basic
riff down, the only thing that changes is some palm muting here and there.
Every staff Both Guitars unless otherwise noted:
