Goo Goo Dolls - Slide

Well, its been a long time since probably has done a tab justice. 
I spent long hours on this song, and I'm 10000 % sure this is the way that 
Rzeznik plays it, if not even better. 

Tabber: Jake Chen (YES ME!)

Tuning: DADGDD 

E- Down to D
B- Up to D (if it snaps, replace the string with a high E string) 
G- keep the same
D- keep the same
A- keep the same
E- Down to D

The song is also played in D#A#D#G#D#D# standard, so just tune it 
to the DADGDD and put a capo on 1 st fret.
