Bells “cough, cough” (2:45)
End (2:57)

If you want, in the verses, just add the low D string open to add a more depressing bass effect to the song since the song is meant to have a depressing mood.
There is also an acoustic part in some parts of the song but you can barely hear them so I didn’t bother including them.

Email me at [email protected] if you have questions or comments about this tab, or you just want to give me money.
