Here's a decent tab for anyone interested. It's not perfect, but it gives you a good idea of how to play it.

    Seriously, this version blew my mind. At first I was like "okay... he's looping a two chord progression in 6 and this song has more than two chords and doesn't stay in 6 the whole time, surely eventually he'll stop the loop eventually to play it..." But then he didn't stop the loop and it all lined up perfectly, what the fuck?!? Excellent.

    He does stop the loop on certain parts to "reset" the riff, but it really does show his talent to be able to sing, play guitar and control the loop all at once. It's pretty difficult

    This version takes it for my favorite (though I do love the solo on the album). Best lo-fi live recording I've ever seen - really a perfect match of medium and content.

    Fantastic song and songwriter who I had the honour of interviewing last year. This version dominates the Reunion Tour take so much too. I wish they'd kept the minimal vibe going on.

    With success comes the ability to eat, I guess. I hadn't seen them in a few years and was pretty surprised. He's looking pretty healthy these days.

    You guys might like Clem Snide and Eef Barzley if you like his lyrics and music. Just a thought.
