Well, it is kind of sad that everyone seems to 
tab this wrong. A few have come very close, however.
-->Tune your guitars down half a step, boys and girls.

Legend: / = slide up to         + = Let ring    
         = slide down to       b= (x24432@1)bend string
        r = release bend        * = palm mute
        h= (x2444x@1)hammer on           p = pull off
        X = scratch             ~ = vibrato

And thats all. Joel plays the Pre-Chorus with only a one-note
difference than what Ross used to, just in case you were wondering.
