* MISCELLANEOUS *
*****************

Maybe the chorus is played slapped and popped. The bass sounds this way. I'm not sure.

Some tabbers say chorus and outro are played the following way. I couldn't hear it,
and I think nobody will hear it at a gig. Btw. it's hard to play clearly.

chorus:
  G|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
  D|--------4---------------4---2---|--------4-----------6---5---4---|
  A|--------------------------------|--------------------4---3---2---|
  E|0---2-------0-2---0-2-----------|0---2-------0-2---0-------------|
    1 - + - 2 - + - 3 - + - 4 - + -  1 - + - 2 - + - 3 - + - 4 - + -

outro:
  G|--------------------------------|
  D|----4---3---2-------------------|
  A|----2---1---0-------------------|
  E|--------------------------------|
    1 - + - 2 - + - 3 - + - 4 - + -
