elephant track number 2 in all (well, most of) its
glory...
hope this isn't too confusing to follow but this
seemed to be the easiest way to tab it out...the chord
shapes are easy but they can change damn quickly

then end on an Am barre chord


where there are '*'s either side of where a riff is,
there's that really long solo which i haven't worked
out yet cos it'd take ages and i can't be bothered
right now, so i might tab it out some other time,
unless if anyone else beats me to it...
