[Main Base line]: Note this is a very important elemant in the song.
Other than some light strumming and some nice sounding
licks here and there this base line drives the song.

[Main Guitar Riff]: Chords that are played under the base. This is acoustic
guitar and is strummed very _lightly_. This part is very
hard to make out so once again it is could be wrong.

[Main Riff]
You hear a lot of visions
You can't even stop
Can't see what you're missing
Spinning like a top
[small variation from the main riff]: Figure it out. Not tuff.
Fade away I want to see her
Fade away I want to see her
I only want to meet her
[Main Riff]
La Dolly Vita [Fill 1]
True as blue sky
La Dolly Vita [Fill 1]
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream
[Some Crash Cymbols]
Take it all the way down
Forsake ones you have now
Take it all the way down
[Sorry the outro escapes me. Its really distorted and hard to figure out]
