ocultar pestaña
 
4/4 time, bass notes hit every-other beat 
I labeled the chords underneath to clarify fingerings 
Intro: 
 
e-----3-----0-----0-----2? 
B-----3-----3-----1-----3- 
G-----0-----0-----2-----2-     Play twice, then third time  
D-----0-----0-----0--0----     instead of the ?D? part, 
A-----2--2-----3----------     slide into this ?C? part? 
E--3----------------------     (C chord moved up 1 fret) 
   G    G/B    C     D          
 
e-----0-----2-----2----------------- 
B-----2-----3-----3----------------- 
G-----3-----2-----2----------------- 
D-----0--0-----0-----0-------------- 
A--4--------------------3--2--0----- 
E--------------------------------3--   ?back to beginning 
   C*    D     D     C-walkdown 
(don?t know name of that C-chord, any help?) 
 
So during the song, where you see a chord name, what?s really being played is  
what?s above, baselines first and the chords strummed, pretty simple but a task  
to tab out;) 
 
Also, Larry said to just post this without all the chords so if anyone can get  
that darn bridge figured out, private message me or submit your own version?I  
think its in Ab or A-dim something like that?enjoy!  Seminole9300
