Such a great song.  Updating this tab to include the beginning picking part.  One
guitarist is playing an
electric with the bass turned way up and some reverb.  Another guitarist is playing a
slide guitar.
I'll update this tab with the slide guitar part if I can figure it out with a friend's help.
As always, let me know in the comments if you find any errors.
[Fun fact] If you play  Dlike this, you'll preserve those cool dissonant bass
string tones.  There's also two ways to play  Afor their base notes.
