Two guitars are in this song, the first part is the first guitar. The
second guitar's part is tabbed out at the bottom.
Make sure to use a ton of reverb. It wouldn't be a Death Cab song
without reverb. :)

(^^^Guitar 2 begins playing; tabbed out at the bottom)
I'm not sure what to call this riff, but it's pretty tough,
so we'll call it the "hard riff." Play twice.

Guitar one rests, 2nd guitar plays G and A, back and forth.
After G and A are alternated twice, guitar 1 kicks in again
with the "hard riff," and repeats it.
Eventually, the hard riff gets a variation: Play it twice.

Guitar 2's parts:
In the first minute of the song, guitar 2 is just playing the chord
guitar 1 is playing, just not playing the arppegios or other little riffs.
Just the x5775x and 7x775x chords. At 1:04, guitar 2 comes in with some improvised
lead, which can be variated.
END. I hope you'll find some use out of this.
