Kashmir - Kalifornia Tab

   / Kashmir            /  I think this song is about the Americanization of the
  / Kalifornia         /  world, and how we're consumed by its ideals. We've
 / No Balance Palace  /  always been aware of that it was sneaking up on us, but
/____________________/  eventually it's not something society is able to resist.

 Intro:
The intro is basically just a verse played by some kind of organ.
The tricky thing is all the 2/4-bars. Here's a table showing the time signatures:

 | 4/4 | % | % | 2/4 | 2/4 |

 | 4/4 | % | % | 2/4 | 2/4 | 2/4 |

 | 4/4 | % | % | 2/4 |

 | 4/4 | % | % | 2/4 | 2/4 | 2/4 |

While the organ plays, the guitar picks this pattern with the strings muted.

  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

  
                 
  
                 
    (accentuate the up strokes [v])
  
                 
  
     x   x     x 
  
   x x   x   x x 
     ^   down stroke
  
 x     x   x     
     v   up stroke
  ^ ^ v ^ v ^ ^ v

Here's a guitar transcription of the opening organ part.
Notice that the time signatures here are the same as in the table above.
(The first line of bars is the last three bars in the table above.)

 Verse:
This is the typical picking pattern.
Notice that is just based on the picking pattern with the muted strings.
First there is an instrumental verse, and then 2 verses with lyrics.

After 2 more verses with lyrics, there's obviously the 2nd Chorus.
This chorus ends earlier and goes directly into the Build-up part.
 Build-up:
Strum all the chords as in the first bar.
The upper guitar track is Kasper, the lower one is Henke.
