-----Mineral - &Serenading-----
The timing of this song can get a little weird, I've tried to lay out the tabs in a way that makes sense.
Note that this is not how they play it live, which is quite different from the album version.
Repeated sections (e.g. verses) are not written twice, the structure is easy to understand by listening
to the song though.
The (*) and (**) symbols refer to notes at the bottom of the page.

************************************
Notes:
(*) When the band plays this live, the second chord in the chorus seems to be played:
e|---|
B|---|
G|-5-| (or similar)
D|-5-|
A|-x-|
E|-8-|
which is the same chord, but it makes the switch to the third chord much more awkward. The original recording
seems to play the chord as I've tabbed it here from what I can hear based on the fluidity of the chord change.
(**) During live performances Scott plays a mix of the two outro parts, by playing:
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 &
