I love this song, maybe a little more than is natural. On a whim, I decided to learn it, and ended up having
to tab it myself, because the tabs that did exist were only for bass, or inaccurate.
I hope to right (and write) that wrong here.
As you may have noticed, the guitar on this song is very sparse. However, it *is* present throughout.
Essentially, the guitar doubles the bass part, but to play it, just lightly press on the frets so it's more of
a clicking tone than an actual note.
With the drums

Do the clicking I described here. The lyrics come in the at the fifth time:
"Having spent your entire life..."

On the 8th time, there are two guitars. The parts are positioned to show how they line up

Once again, the overlapped pieces like before
e--------------------|----------------------------------
B--the previous part-|----------------------------------
G----(third time)----|----------------------------------
D--------------------|----------------------------------x2 the second time, play the (5)s instead

D----------------5/7-|-----9~----------------------5/7--x2

Then these two parts overlap
