this repeats... except theres some "solo" that uses about 6 notes but I
didn't even bother with it cause I play something completly different
during the solo... the dear reganomics victim part is slightly
different... its the same riff but it just doesn't go through the entire
verse... its easy to hear what the guitars doing so I'm not gonna tab
that part out just cause I"m too damn lazy
