I am about 99% sure the intro is correct. The key is to get the timing
right.
When I play it along with the song and with my band it sounds perfect.
0:10
Intro:
G[----5----7----5-----------5----8---5-----8--5-]
D[-0---7-0----0--7-0-0--0-0--7-0---0---7-0---0--]x6

There has been some question to whether the intro riff is played
in this position or all on the D string near the 10th and 12th frets.
If you prefer to play it this way, the TAB is:
G[--------------------------------------------------------------]
D[-0--10-7-0-12--0-10-7-0-0--0--0-10-7-0-13--0-10-7-0-13--0-12--]

Thats it. Its a very fun song but its pretty tricky. The hardest part
Is the timing in the intro. Im pretty sure this whole tab is right
except for
the part at 4:12. Please Rate!

****ing honestly Vaul.....how must it feel to be so stupid? are you tone deaf? I'd love to be there when you realise how wrong you are.

the intro is dead wrong, and i can point you to tons of youtube videos to prove it : d string only, no 7th fret notes.
