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.
