from the CD Sailing The Seas of Cheese

I've noticed that nobody has transcribed this very well, 
so I've taken the liberty to do so.

Arranged for a four-string.

T: Thumb Slap
P: Index Pop
S: Downstroke(Strum)
U: Upstroke(Strum)
+: Right Hand Tap

(Technically, you need to drop to B for the next part.
