Note: on some of the D's like in the Instrumental it sounds like theres a riff. Its
basically just the high e string being pressed down on the 5th fret. This is kinda tricky
to do because you're all out of fingers so you kinda have to use your palm fat at the
bottom of your pinky to press it down... Sorry. I know. Its weird. But its actually
pretty easy
Heres the tab for it. It'll look like D*
