This line is play at the same time as above. On the record it's an added
bass track mixed in. Listen carefully to the CD - you'll hear the tracks
overlap. Same distortion effect is used.

dude if you listen to it on the CD the bridge is almost right, and on the main riff the last note is wrong. you don't play 14 unless your playing by yourself. but if your playing with the cd or a band then you'll always get off if you play that.

Out of the 3 tabs on here this is def. THE closest to PERFECT, which I don't think is acheiveable. So good job on the tab but like Uncommonresults said the "14" after the main riff is wrong according to the cd. It is played like this ON THE CD...

Intro
G|-------9--------9-|----------13----|
D|-11-11---11--11---|-11----11----11-|
A|------------------|----12----------|
E|---9-------9------|----------------|

BUT

I like throwing in the "14" like this

Intro
G|-------9--------9-|----------13----|
D|-11-11---11--11---|-11----11----11-|
A|------------------|----12----------| x 3
E|---9-------9------|----------------|

Intro
G|-------9--------9-|----------13----|
D|-11-11---11--11---|-11----11-------|
A|------------------|----12-------14-|
E|---9-------9------|----------------|

Thanks again.
