Life becomes calvanist
So sparkle and believe
Linguistics die easily

listen to record for timing and how many times to pick each note, also bend up a step on 7 above for some variation

repeat bit on b string twice and add as much vibrato and plucking on each and every note as                                                                              
posible!  For the squealing bit just mess around on the g, b, e strings getting right up by the 
pick ups at the end.

End on D5 chord and let ring. Enjoy!
