Notes
* (pm) = palm-muted
* The verse vocals (as best as I can tell) go like this:
1st lines: Ben Weasel
2nd lines: Ben and Blake Swarzenbach
3rd lines: Ben, Blake, and Cassandra Millspaugh
4th lines: Ben, Blake, Cassandra, and Joey Vindictive
* The chorus, I believe, is sung only by Ben (on lead) and Blake (on
backing), though Vapid may be in there, too.

This is played just by guitar twice before the drums

enter, it's played four more times before vocals enter.
