For those who want to try a different version to the tab already here, this is the way I play
it. For the lyrics and structure of the song I have the author of the previous tab to thank,
all I've done is changed a few of the chords, and added a couple of bits and pieces.
There are something like 4 different recordings of this song, so as always use this as a guide
and play it how you think it should be played, the number of recordings might be the reason
why this differs from the other version here, dont know which one I think Im playing, it
may be a fusion of a few, and of course it aint perfect ;)
Intro: (not exact, fiddle with it as you wish) This is in the Live In Canada, and the EP
version, not in Solace or Good Spirit, but I like it :)

Dunno if the last bit is hammer-ons and pull-offs or not, just do what you want.
The verse has the progression D, G, C, D 3 times.
The first D of each progression should include the hammer-on as in the very beginning of the
intro,
eg
|2--
|3--
|0h2
|0--
|---
|---
the last D should end with something simmilar to the very last bit of the intro.

palm muting.
