Now as we all know thrice is very difficult band to play for us   
beginners but i'm going to try to make it as easy to play as i  
can. warning it does go pretty fast so dont blink or else you'll  
miss it. if you remember the lyrics then this should be easy to  
follow but if you dont then you might get lost a little. feed  
back is appreciated
