The Flaming Lips
The Observer (tab)
The Soft Bulletin
This song only has two sections: the riff and the bridge.
The riff is really straightforward, but the bridge is more based on improvisation.

Bridge
e|---------|

G|------9--| (Improvise around these three notes)
D|---------|
A|---------|
E|---------|
The guitar in the bridge is not prominent in the mix and does not have a definitive
structure. He basically improvises using these three notes for the entire bridge.
Listen closely to the bridge and you'll understand what I mean.
Here is the song layout:
0:10-1:44 - Main Riff x2
