I know there are a lot of tabs out there for this song already, but 99% of them are
completely wrong! And this is my FAVORITE song of all-time from any band, so I'm
taking the liberty to transcribe it the right way... here we go!
Standard Tuning
VERSE: (listen to cd for rhythm)
e|-x--x--x-x-x--x--x-x-x--x--x--x-x-x--x--x-|
B|-5--5--5-5-5--5--5-5-5--7--7--7-7-7--8--7-|
G|-0--0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0--0--0--0-0-0--0--0-| play 4 times

E|-x--x--x-x-x--x--x-x-x--x--x--x-x-x--x--x-|
it's hard to play this without muting the G string, so i normally
just mute it, it still sounds just fine.

There you have it. The greatest song ever written!!! It's amazing. I didn't write out
Carl's part, although I might do it later and submit it... the solo, extra stuff during the end, etc.. Enjoy the song, let me know if I may have made any mistakes.
