Tuning: DBEGBE (Drop D tuning with the 4th and 5th strings tuned up one whole step)
The tuning is strange, but I'm almost certain this is how it is played on the album and
live (to get the notes to ring out in the same way). It also happens to be a lot easier
to play. You can figure out the song structure (and how to play noisy solo) by yourself.
The main thing I wanted to correct was all the tabs that either don't hit the right notes
in the intro/verse and make the part harder than it needs to be.

(Intro/Outro pt.Two)
The bass note here, as far as I can tell, is played by the bass. But there are two ways
of doing it all on the guitar. One way is awkward (a huge stretch from the 6th to the
5th string), the other doesn't sound right (alternating the notes on the 5th string).
The simplified version shifts the notes on the 10th and 12th frets to the 1st and 3rd
frets on
the next string up).

(Chorus): Not perfectly accurate, but pretty damn close. Again, there is probably a
thing where the guitar alternates with the bass... but, eh
