Well this took a good seven years to figure out, due to how difficult it is to pick out
guitar parts with all of the fuzz on Machina II, but I finally heard a live acoustic
version of this song a few months ago and I was able to figure it out. Like most SP songs,
it is tuned down a half step. Hope you enjoy!
