				Strum this whole bit:

7 for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myse----lf.
7 phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myse----lf.
7 for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myse----lf.

7 ....humming....

7 phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myse----lf.

Play a clean Bm for a bar or two, then, keep a phasing high EQ

fuzzy high gain distortion type sound going on a Bm for a

while and end with a fiddle of the volume on guitar while

feeding back. Put down guitar with 3/4 volume next to amp,

walk off and distress your neighbours with the effects still

squealing!!!

(These are what the effects are called on a Zoom 505!)

Note:

We do have the keyboard part worked out for keyboard, but we

play it with guitar.
