 note: rhythm on this tab is nonexistent and the lines of
 G3 do not correspond to the rhythm of G1&2's tab.  Listen
 to the recording as a guide...  bm.
 
There's this addition to *1 after G3's last E and
just before the lyrics:

Under the entire song (excluding the intro and outro)
is a 4th guitar playing _seemingly_ at random these

Well, there's Whir for you.  I still can't figure out the
E's and other chords under the chorus (Whir yourself around...
part)  If you know it please E-mail me.  Enjoy it.  Hope
it's not too confusing (I didn't wanna tab out repetitive
lines) and it helps out.  Please send comments to
