Well this took a good seven years to figure out, due to how difficult it is to pick out 
guitar parts with all of the fuzz on Machina II, but I finally heard a live acoustic 
version of this song a few months ago and I was able to figure it out. Like most SP songs, 
it is tuned down a half step. Hope you enjoy!  

Intro:                                Repeat last 4 chords 4X before going into verse 1
