Tuning: Standard w/ capo on 5th fret.
Effects: Tremolo pedal. Play around till it sounds right to you.
Ok, so with the capo on the 4th, I have no idea what to call these chords, so
Im just going to name them as if the capo was the nut.
A note about the strumming pattern: the first and third chords (G, Am) are
you do not strum on these, more of a palm mute), while the second and fourth
Also, between each chord there is a string tap which I have annotated with Ts.
Main Riff: this repeats through most of the song. All chords are a single
strum.

strum per chord and let ring.
