Notes: Play the waiting game with this song. Take all the slides, all the
bends nice and slow. There's no need to rush them, rob them whatever
amount of sustain (amount of time you hold the note) you can get.
The main key is to follow along with the verses and to listen to the
words. If you can't hear the bass line, turn your stereo up really
loud, cut out the treble and listen closely.

New Symbols: ~ - Symbol for a bend, in this case, a slow deep bend
\ - Symbol for a slide (always tough to write those out)
