version 4
Side note: When I say "B11", I found that the individual notes A, C# and F# sound
much better. If you know how to get this on the guitar, great! If not, then I
think the chord is called "C#aug5sus4" (complicated right? That's why I just put
B11, which will more or less work).

D:|-----------6-9---6-9-9-| or |-----2---4-------------|
A:|-----7---9-------------| |-2-4-------------------|
E:|-7-9-------------------| |-----------------------|
The T letter stands for tempo... because the riff is not made on the first down beat(1
in a 4/4 measure), instead is made in the middle of the 2/3.
The hole song has kind of a triplet feel so make sure you bare that in mind while playing.
So here's the structure of the song:
It goes |A| 2 times then |B + A| and at E you just play once on the 1 then Riff!
