LAYOUT: A - B - C - D - B - D - E


A SECTION				00:00-00:30

Kim stays silent.

B SECTION				00:30-01:20

Kim enters playing a repeated theme. I have a bit of an auditory illusion with her bassline in this song.
I swear each note sounds slightly different despite seeming to be the same, and I don't know if that is
due to weird intonation on the bass she used for the first record, or if she's playing 12th to 14th fret
and bending the 14th slightly different each time? Any thoughts? Because I also hear the riff differently
AFTER the first verse, when there's a drum break and she comes back in. There I feel the 2nd note sounds
a little flatter than it does during the first half of the song. Am I crazy?

G------------------------
D------------------------	continue playing through the first verse
A------------------------
E---12--15---12--15-15---	vary a little bit each time

C SECTION				01:20-01:26

Kim plays her main riff.

D SECTION				01:26-02:02

Kim plays her main riff and ends the section ringing on the 12th fret.

B SECTION				02:02-02:28

Kim enters after the drum beat playing a slightly different version of her original riff...I think?!
Or this is what she was playing the whole time...
