Ya i mest up with the first correction...

they do the picking straight through the 2nd verse... "So take the photographs and still frames..."

but awesome tab!!!

drewwill88Unknown Date

hey i listened to the beginning in slow motion on windows media player and the intro sounds closer to this:

-----------------------------------------------------------

-------3-------------3-------------3-------------3---------

---------0---0---------0---0---------0---0---------2---0---

-----------0-------------0-------------------0-0-----0-----

-------------------------------3-3-----3-------------------

try listening to it in slow motion and you'll see what i mean. other than that, everything's fine.
