MAKE SURE YOU READ ABOUT THE TUNING BEFORE JUMPING INTO THE TAB!!!
==================================================================
 
The tuning is weird. Chris and Dave might play it a half step down
or something else. I don't know for sure. But if you use the tuning
below, it will be just fine!!
 
 
         (DADGGe)
  High e: stays the same
       B: tune down to G  \ these stings will sound
       G: stays the same  / the exact same
       D: stays the same
       A: stays the same
   Low E: tune down to D

your tuning idea was absolutely retarded. this would be even more accurate: (tune everything down a half step) e| -----0----------- B| -9-7---4----4b5r4- G| -9-9-9-4----4-----
