"You and I both know creatures like that don't exist..."
 
One of the first Rivermaya songs I've heard during my elementary years. Good song and kinda vague
lyrics. Fairly easy to do as well. As with many of their songs, this one's in a basic scale pattern so all
of the fills aren't that hard to pull off.

it's really easy huh? all you have to do is keep the brisk pace and you'll be just fine. since this is
quite fast, you can try playing with a pick to reduce the strain (",)
