   mostly clean tone with a wee hint of distortion

-|---2---------------0-------2-------4-----2-----2----------------------------
-|-0-------------0h2-------3-----3/5-----0------------------------------------

   play that clean stuff until he starts singing then do something like this
   (based off these chords A G C D A    A G C D A F G A- the guitar behind
   the verse has a really loose feel and kinda changes each time)

   into second verse, again the feel sorta changes, so listen to the song

   then play verse again until end(he kinda mixes the clean tone intro stuff
   into verse so listen closely)
