-----
OUTRO X4
-----

*NOTE* This song is played EXTREMELY fast - especially during the intros, verses, and outros (which are really mostly 
the same progressions,) - so I STRONGLY advise that you practice this song very slow at first and gradually work your way up 
to speed.  I know it doesn't quite sound right when played slow, but I guarantee that the notes are 100% correct and it's 
only when the song is played at the proper speed that you can make it sound right.  As most of you know, this is probably 
the song that Chris is best known for - it's an incredible song, and I recommend you take your time on it and make it sound 
right.  Hell, it's taken me the entirety of my bass-playing carreer to figure this masterpiece out, and it's more than worth it.  
Chris would be proud of ya'.

As always, if there are any corrections, comments, etc., please e-mail them to crustedgutterpunk@yahoo.com .  Thanks
