** I have tried to make this tab as precise and accurate as possible to = the
original studio recording, so any corrections or comments to that end are very
welcome! **

Symbols: / =3D Slide up
  \ =3D Slide down
  <> =3D Harmonic
  h =3D hammer on (i.e. 5h7)
  p =3D pull off  (i.e. 4p0)
  bX =3D bend the string to sound like the Xth fret.
  g =3D ghost note (touch the string lightly w/ left hand and pluck -
     makes a dull thud sound)
  Rhythm (Rh:) is notated using a "+" sign below the tab to represent
     each beat (+ =3D one quarter note).  Within each measure, equal =
notes
     have equal lengths.  Beats are also divided equally.
  I haven't notated the duration of each note, but I have included rests
     (marked by an "r") in the first verse to try to give an idea of the
     feel.  Listen to the recording for the best results.  Rests last
     until the next note is struck.
  *|| =3D repeat - go back to the double barline and play the section
  *||   again.
Tempo: "+" =3D 98
