The way I play the intro/verse is: |-----------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |-10h12-12-12-12-x-x-10-x-x-7-x-x-5-x-x-3-3-3-3h5-5-5-0-0-0-| |-10h12-12-12-12-x-x-10-x-x-7-x-x-5-x-x-3-3-3-3h5-5-5-0-0-0-| |-10h12-12-12-12-x-x-10-x-x-7-x-x-5-x-x-3-3-3-3h5-5-5-0-0-0-| But it's good otherwise. I may be wrong, but it's how I play it.

the tab is good but the intro in my opinion is a bit off i play: e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|-10h12-12-12-12-x-10h12-7-5h7-3-x-0-3h5-5-5-0-0-0----------------| A|-10h12-12-12-12-x-10h12-7-5h7-3-x-0-3h5-5-5-0-0-0----------------| D|-10h12-12-12-12-x-10h12-7-5h7-3-x-0-3h5-5-5-0-0-0----------------| PM---

thomasbourne92, you can't play the open E string a whole step down, which you do all the time in this song. That's the whole point of drop D tuning. Thanks for the tab, enjoyincubus.
