EFFECTS
This is tricky because of all the guitar tracks on the record,
so here a rough expression of how the combinations come across.
Intro – Chorus & mild compression
Verse1- Mild distortion
Chorus- Fuzz w/the tone turned down
Outro – Bluesy at the start, getting fuzzier all the time.

I hope I have done this song justice in this transcription. The number of
tracks makes transcribing it a nightmare, but I think I got all the
important bits.
