Tuning: Drop D
 
*Update (11/17/08)
This song is usually tuned a whole step down, but drop D is far more
convenient then tuning the rest of your strings down a whole step. The
only problem you run into when playing the song in drop D is during the
verses. I've posted two ways of playing the verses, the first way is a
more comfortable, yet incorrect way of playing it, but it still sounds fine.
The 2nd way I've posted it is the slightly more uncomfortable, yet correct
way of playing the verses.
 
The rhythms are very straightforward so I'm only posting chords

That's it...I don't think I skipped anything. The same intro riff/chord progression is
quite a bit throughout the song.
