play through 2 times and on the last time hold the
[--0--] chord
[--1--] the 
[--2--] first
[--2--] time 
[--0--] you 
[-----] play it...


that is the perfect fingering for you and enjoy... i can't figure out
how to play the main course because you need to restring it and tune 
way out of wack and it's crazy!  but if you want that version you can
get it if you get the July issue of "Guitar One"!
e-mail me if you have any questions on my first tab, and you probably
won't because i can play it exactly like it is...
have fun!!!
