Note: I only put the definite parts to this song in this tab. The rest of
the solos and improvising should be random like Doug would do it.

Great tab, two corrections: 1. The first chord of the verse riff sounds a lot more like A7 than the suggested chord, I think it is: e|-----------------------------------------------------| B|-2--2------------------------------------------------| G|-x--x--x--------------6--6-6--x------------7-7-x-x---| D|-2--2--x--6--x--7--x--x--x-x--x--6--x--7---x-x-x-x---| A|-------x--x--x--x--x--5--5-5--x--x--x--x---5-5-x-x---| E|----------4--x--5--x-------------4--x--5-------------| 2. I don't think the verse progression is "A C#m E A" but rather "A C#m E D", which blends into the e|----------------------------------| B|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-5-3-3-| G|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--| More smoothly

Great
