I know most of you people won't be able to play on such a low tuning, 
but you fans who are obsessed enough can now play it like Mike Mushok 
does!  This is all my own work, but if you would like to post it on a 
personal site, just email me and i might be kind enough to let you!  
This has all the riffs you need to play the song, figure out where each 
goes i will leave up to you.
