  Notes: Play the waiting game with this song. Take all the slides, all the 
         bends nice and slow. There's no need to rush them, rob them whatever 
         amount of sustain (amount of time you hold the note) you can get. 
         The main key is to follow along with the verses and to listen to the 
         words. If you can't hear the bass line, turn your stereo up really 
         loud, cut out the treble and listen closely.
  
  New Symbols: ~ - Symbol for a bend, in this case, a slow deep bend
                - Symbol for a slide (always tough to write those out)
  
  
  Standard Tuning
  
  Intro: guitar vocals
