You can play it with a 4-string only tuning E to D... the intro of all tabs is correct (in the studio version Chris played this one, while live he plays A|1-0...), but what I have noticed not only in this but in all tabs is that the part right after the intro is indeed bass and it should be 12 in A, 14-15-14-15-14 in G, then 10 in A and 12 in G, according to the rythm and with some distortion on it.
