What exactly do the notes in ()'s mean? I thought those meant you touch them but don't pick them but one is an open string so now I'm confused...thanks

don't compete; coexist

what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    It's a ghost note. Kind of like an "optional" note. Usually the notes are heard, but don't necessarily have to be played for it to sound right

    Sorry, I don't know, But it looks like an optional note. If that is pink floyd, you would let all those notes ring, through.

    Wish you were here. One the first I ever truly learned to play.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    What a song!
    Great song to start with.
    A show stopper if you've ever seen them play that live.
