Song: Otherside

I do believe that this is the correct way to play it. I put alternate
fingerings for the bridge for better control when playing. I bracketed
the alternate fingerings for you. This is the same tab as before, however
I have things to say about the intro.
Intro*
G|------------------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------------------
A|------------------------3--3--3-3---------------
E|-5--5--5-3--1--1--1-1------------0--3--3--3----
*This can be played easier live and jumping by playing open A string
instead of the fifth fret on the E string, but its up to you.
}Now I have had many people comment on the introduction tab and
say it is the wrong way to play it. They say that the intro goes
something like this...
G|-------------2--2--420---------------
D|-2--2--2--2--------------2--2--0-0-0-
A|-------------------------------------
E|-------------------------------------
}However this is the guitar part of the intro. If you listen closely to
the song you can here the bass in the background (playing the intro I have
tabbed).
}I have made an alternate intro tab that combines the bass with
the guitar to be played on either instrument.
Alternate intro tab*

A|------------------------3--3--3-3------------
E|-5--5--5--3-1--1--1-1------------0--3--3--3-
*This is all played at the same time. Easier to play with you thumb
plucking the low notes and index finger plucking the high. You can
also play versions of this through out the Chorus.

*you can also use lower open A instead of the octave higher
7th fret on th D string to 19th fret on A string for this,
I'm too sure. And you can also play it from 2nd to 9th on
G string, and you don't have to worry about hitting such a
small fret
