I figured out Drugs in Tokyo... throw a capo on the 1st fret (harmonics) --------------------------- --------------------------- ----------------------[13]- ---------------[13]-------- --------[20]--------------- -[20]---------------------- throw on quite a bit of delay and reverb. if you want, swap the [20]s for [8]s, i just think the higher ones get better resonance on my guitar. nice tab, sir!
