tuning:standard

this was a real bitch, because the bass is really distorted the way through
so the variations were almost indecipherable. To me, this sounds right, 
but only when i play along with the CD do the variations make sense.
listen to the song while u learn unless u know the basslline in your head
perfectly.

* the hammer on I've shown is actually played by a second guitar,
and he switches from the 5h7 on the G string to a 3h5 on the a on
most occasions. I'll omit the changes because their niggly and their
on the bass but u can figure by ear.
