Oops...I forgot they won't let you have more than one
from my first post. Here is just the correct way:
Tune down a full step (D A F C G D).
if playing a Strat-style guitar.
I will use the verse lyrics as cues for variations during
the verse, since I'm too lazy to count the bars and all.
You will pick it up quickly if you have the CD handy, it's
really pretty easy.
x = strum muted string
\ = slide up
P = palm mute
(7)=7th fret harmonic
