This has been a difficult song to transcribe (as evidenced by the lack of tabs available
as the complex chords are often masked by layers of shoegaze-like droning and distorted fuzz.
I feel this underrated and beautiful song deserves a good transcription. I am not 100%
that this tab is completely accurate yet, so if you have any suggestions, please leave a

CHORUS
(Note: judging from both the studio and live recordings of the song, the guitarist
to strum a G chord throughout the chorus as the other instruments, particularly the bass,
beneath it. However, this doesn’t sound particularly good in solo arrangements, so I’ve
out the changing chords as best I can.)
