Tuning: Drop D DADG
To get everything out of this song, you need to listen to it through a well balanced
stereo system with tight, rich, deep subs. An average home or car system or head phones
will distort and won't produce a rich enough tone to hear all that the bass has to offer.
To play this song in the studio version, you have to either tune your 4-string to Drop D, or
play a 5-string. This tab is for a 4-string with the E dropped to a D.

The open string/double hammer-ons are just a loose roll of the hand on the fret board timed with three
strikes of the string. More of a feel. Time it right you'll hear all four notes clear. The song is in 4/4.
Count off 1, 2, a-quadrupalet, 4 &. The "a" of a-qua-dru-pa-let comes on the up beat of beat 3.
Example: in the chorus, the Fret 7, 7 is beat 1 - 2, the open string/hammer on's are the a-quadrupalet roll, fret 5,6 are the 4 & count.
