Song Structure:
-Intro (x2)
-Verse
-Break 1
-Break 2 (x2)
-Break 3 (Played the same as Intro - x2)
-Break 1
-Verse
-Break 2 (x2)

There are easier ways to play Break 2 but I was getting the best tone from my
guitar when I played it in this position. This is also how Albert appeared to 
be playing this when I saw them in Chicago.
