EVERY TIME A ZERO APPEARS ON THE BOTTOM LINE PLAY IT AS A PLAM MUTE!!!

This little lead shows up

This is just the chords...not the actual strumming pattern

Here is the chorus (it requires two gtrs on Frogstomp)

Gtr 1 plays this chord throughout the entire chorus
|-----------|
|-----------|
|-----7-----|
|-----X-----|
|-----5-----|
|-----------|

Gtr 2 plays this chord over gtr 1
|---0---|
|---3---|
|---2---|
|---0---|
|---0---|
|---0---|

Thats the entire song, though Daniel plays the chorus and lead differently live to suit 
one guitarist.
