this part is finger-picked, and if you want to also be able to play the other riff that goes on top of it
then you have to loop it. I think that the bass notes are tapped with the fretting hand, but it doesn't make
much difference if you pick them and mute a little bit. the vocals come in after the 4th repetition, the
xylophone comes in after the 8th, and the french horn comes in after the 10th.

this riff comes in after the first time the other one is played, I recommend looping it because it's played
so many times that it's difficult to keep track of how many. in the recording this riff just cuts out at the
end

I just wanted to say “hey,” and then be on my way. But now, I kinda wanna stay here at the neighborhood motel we’re doing okay. But “hey,” maybe before I leave, I’ll snag an apple from the family tree. Some seeds, a little snack, organic memory of everything you’ve done for me. ‘Cause we’re not the random products of autonomous energy; you got your pals, you got your history. And the Dork Ages still rage inside of me. I think they will until eternity.
