Stay Tab

Begin the song with clean electric guitar.
I'm pretty sure that (in the studio version anyway) they have the clean electric guitar
play the intro riff throughout pretty much the whole song.

Guitar 1: plays intro riff
This part is super quiet, but it's definitely there, you can see him playing it in the video. If you're
playing solo, or with one guitarist, I'd just play the intro riff. Otherwise, guitar 2 plays:
