....sorry Dave, but I disagree :o)


Here's my interpretation, with the fingering I use. (Only a wee change.)


Firstly, there's the intro/interlude part,

G---------------------------|
D---------------------------|	repeated twice on each occasion,
A-----5-7--------7-5--------|
E--------------------7-0----|


and the main riff.

G---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------2-----------------4---5-4--------------|
A------------------------2-4-5---0-------------5---5---------0-2-0----|
E--0--0-(x)0---0-0-2-3-5------------5--5---5-5-----------5---------3--|
	 
The bracketed ghost note is only played on the first time through.

Cleanse, tone, moisturise.
