This is a neat little song on their debut album, Boy. It's a short, simple song that's
and kind of creepy. The bass tabs on this site are fairly accurate, so I bother tabbing
out myself here. Remember to tune your guitar down half a step. The delay setting for
song is at roughly 100ms or so. Just enough to get a nice echo with 1-2 repeats. Play it softly.
