Or refrain, just play that verse line under the solo and such, and you
can't go wrong!
I Hope you have as much fun learning this song as I did, and show your

here it is

That should work
G|-------3h4p3--------------------------------------------------|
D|-4-4--------------3h4p3------1-1---------------------------------|
A|-------------4-4------------------2~---------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|
the chorus also has some weird bass hammer on, im not quite sure what that is though. Apart from that gr8 tab!!
I think Mike plucks the 3h4p3 in the song.
P P
|----3h4p3------------|
|-44------------------|
|----------44-3h4p3---|
|---------------------|
h=hit
p=pull
P=pluck
P P
|----3h4p3----------|
|-44----------3h4p3-|
|----------44-------|

|-----3h4p3---------------3h4---|
|4-44---------3h4p3--1-1--------|
|---------4-44------4---------2-|
|-------------------------------|
and also I find its easier instead of playing
A|-6-6-6-2
I play
D|-1-1-1--|
A|-------2|
and skatanic, your ninth fret thing is EXACTLY the same as the way pyrmdirective tabbed it. try tuning your bass and then when you play A9 you might just notice its the same as D4

i think the intro is:

D----2h4p2------
A-2h4-----------

also the chorus is:
G------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------4p3
A----------------6h7p6---------------------
E-4444444-6-77777-----7-4444444-6-77777----
I think!!!!!
On the Verse you only play the 4 on D, 4 on A, and 6 on A, twice. And the Intro doesn't sound right. It sounds like its missing some notes. I'd like if you looked into this.
