Just as before, all notes are sustained. Please note that "11\\0"
and "13\\2" denote pull-offs from 11 to 10 (not 0) and 13 to 12,
resp., while "10/11" denotes the usual hammer-on from 10 to 11. Distortion
plays a big part of the sound here, so let 'em ring. Also, the rhythm gets
very tricky. Hammer-ons and pull-offs should be rather subtle.

[then last verse with heavy distortion guitar playing God knows what!]
}}"I like the way you look at me. . . Say when you want to go and dance all
ight"
This is the basic rhythm for the ending(it's actually broken down farther in
to 7/16, but this is easier to write, moreover the drums seem to be doing
something in 7/4, which makes the melody sound more off beat.)

[then last verse with heavy distortion guitar playing God knows what!]
}}"I like the way you look at me. . . Say when you want to go and dance all
ight"
This is the basic rhythm for the ending(it's actually broken down farther in
to 7/16, but this is easier to write, moreover the drums seem to be doing
something in 7/4, which makes the melody sound more off beat.)
