*************************************************************************** 
also, it's been brought to my attention that this tab may be discriminatory 
towards peeps with small hands because of the uber large stretches in the 
guitar 1 verse 1 / guitar 1 verse 1 variation and guitar 1 bridge/prechorus parts 1 and 2 phrases.. 
thus here's an alternate way (using the same notes and melody still) to 
play those parts.. this should be easier for peeps with small hands and/or peeps who 
are trying to avoid hand cramps:

b--9--9--9--9-9--9-9--9-9--9--9--9-9--9-9--9-767-767-979-979-767-767-979-979-|

all other parts are cool for peeps with uber massive hands and small hands and all-sized  
hands in between (hopefully).. if not, lmk, and we'll update the tab to accomodate*
