This is Cave from the excellent Hullabaloo DVD by Muse.
There's lots of improvisation in this compared to the Showbiz version!
The Slides dont have to be added in but it sounds better so see what 
you think!
There is some extra notes during the last chords of the chorus that
he plays but i haven't figured them out yet.
The open string changes between the Chords are a rough guide as to what 
happens to your fingers whan you change. Sort of an automatic reaction.
And by the way 77 is not the 77th fret its just two sevens played very 
quickly together.
Have fun.

Sorry if this looks weird, this is my first time tabbing on a computer. Btw, if I made those 9^ unclear, I mean you have to bend the string (down in this case, because you have to keep the third string open), and release it on the last 9.

Whoa, that looks weird. Oh well, you sort of get the gist of it. Just constantly play the third string, and it should work. o_O
