Six-Beat Measure

t the end, there are 21 8-beat measures of beats and effects.
This tab was ear-transcribed over approximately twelve hours.
Randomization is the best approximation for the verse.
Whatever happens at 2:23 was omitted due to laziness.
The guitar solo at 5:02 was omitted due to laziness.
The 21-measure ending was omitted due to laziness.
