A5 (7779xx) G2 (55xxxx) It's some kind of D chord I think. G5 (5557xx) D2 (x57xxx) Dsus2 (000230) D5/C# (x47xxx) D3 (00xxxx) OK, due to overwhelming demand I've finally tabbed this song. This is the song I've gotten the most requests for since I started this site. I waited for so long because I really DON'T like this song, but I figure it's easier tabbing it than answering all the requests for it. What you need to know, hmm, it's in Drop-D which means lower your low E string down to D. And most of the tab here are just chords and it's kinda hard to tab out the rhythm so listen to the song to get the timing right. / = slide up h = hammer-on p = pull-off b = bend note r = release bend x = muted note INTRO: ------ The first part of the intro is played on a clean electric guitar. If you've only heard it on the radio you've probably never heard that part, they usually skip right to where he plays it electric. When he starts playing with distortion he plays almost the same part again but not quite.
