  There's one thing you should know: That I promise -

Hey, and thanks for a good tab. But, as you say, it isn't 100 % correct, but that's allright. Underneath, I have a correction for the intro, otherwise, good job.

i have a correction for the intro part, i play it as i have underneath.
So the E string is basically playing the bass part of the intro while the D string is kind of keeping the tempo.
& you slide your E from 3rd to 7th fret, so you get that "slide sound" as you hear in the track.

hope that helps a little! :)

Samuelf's way is the correct way. It sounds exactly like on the album if you're doing it right, and is easiest to do.

r0kstar--the 7th and 5th frets are easier to play and sound more like the record if you play them 0h2 and 0 on the A string. But otherwise they're both right, so.

Thanks!
