*LISTEN TO SONG BEFORE WHILE OR BEFORE ATTEMPTING, AS TABLATURE

DOES NOT PORTRAY CORRECT TIMING*

This tab is a simpler version written with-out the frequent muting

(which can only really be heard during the soft part anyway...

however, i wrote it in during the soft part (2:19))

Times are approximate

Figure 1a - Verse part 1, played clean (0:05)

Play 5 times*

 
 e|------|-----0-----0-----0-----0-|
 B|------|-----0-----0-----2-----0-|
 G|------|-------------------------|
 D|------|-------------------------|
 A|------|-------2-2---------0-0---|
 E|-(7\)-|-0-0---------0-0---------|

*(the slide down, on E from 7th fret to open, is played only

during the introduction on the upbeat of the bar prior to the main

riff. other times omit slide)

Figure 1b - Verse part 2, played clean (0:30)
