just like all songs off The Resignation, this song has improv going on, this time i tried 
to show some more of the changes, 
but still, treat this tab like a jazz chart, its just the road map, its up to you on how you 
want to play it.

HORN INTERLUDE: 

on the record matt improvises the horn interlude with the B Major scale. im going to leave 
this interlude up to you, the 
player, to interpret and have fun with. from what ive seen, live, he plays the same thing 
he does for the verse. 

B MAJOR SCALE: 
      E|--------------------------6-7------------------------2-4-6-7| 
      B|----------------------7-9----------------------2-4-5--------|

      A|----6-7-9----------------------2-4--------------------------| 
      E|7-9---------------------------------------------------------| 



VERSE TWO: 

on the record, for the first half of the second verse matt plays the same thing as the first 
but a little less consistant 
in the quarter notes and with some delay and flange effects. for the second half, when 
the groove relaxes a little, he 
improvises the same way he did in the horn interlude. from what ive seen, live, he plays 
the first half the exact same way 
as the first verse and then switches to something like this:
