Ive seen a couple versions of this song that all stink.  Why cant anyone tab out all the parts 
to the song? why do people have to be so dumb?  play this along with the song before saying im 
wrong, because im not. 

This song has several parts to the intro.  Im going to tab all of them, 
and EVERY SINGLE NOTE IS HERE!!!!  learn the song before you
make stupid comments

On the Cheshire Cat version, theres a little intro before the more popular intro to the song, 
so here it is.

G-14-14-14-12-12-12-11-11-
D-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-    play twice, then
A-------------------------
E-------------------------


G-6-6-6-7-7-7-9-9---------
D-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---------  2x, then
A-------------------------
E-------------------------

G-12-12-12-11-11-11-9-9----
D-9--9--9--9--9--9-9-9-----  Twice, then
A------------------------- 
E-------------------------

G-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---------
D-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---------  Twice.  Now repeat the whole thing and then go to the 
A-------------------------  more popular intro. 
E-------------------------


Intro Part 1
Hold the notes on the D string
    This riff can be played on different frets on different strings. This is how 
    Mark plays it, and it just sounds more melodious.
G---11-11-12-14-12-11--------6-6-7-9-7-6-------9-9-11-12-11-9-11-----7-----7---7-  
D-0-------------------12--7--------------7-/-9-------------------5-5---5-5---5---
A--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 2
Hold the D string notes, as before.
G---11-11-12-14-12-11--------6-6-7-9-7-6-------9-9-11-12-11-9-11-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-
D-0-------------------12--7-------------7-/-9--------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-
A--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 3,
play 4 times
G-11-11-11-11-11-11--9-9-9-9-9-9-/-11-11-11-11-11-11--7-7-7-7-7-7-
9-0--0--0--0--0--0---7-7-7-7-7-7-/-9---9--9--9--9--9--5-5-5-5-5-5-
A-------------------------------------------------------------------  
E-------------------------------------------------------------------   

tom plays this little riff twice before Mark comes in     

Now bust into this little riff that Mark plays behind the guitar.  Listen carefully, its there.  Play it twice.
G-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-7--9--7--6--
D--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9-9---9--9--9--9-------------
A-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now onto the verse
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------/-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-/-7-\-5-4----
A-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--------------------------------
E-----------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------------------------------------------------
The little /7 is one of those little flourishes Mark used to do.

G--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-/-7-\-5-4---
A-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-/------------------------------
E-----------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------------------------------------------------

  (I Talk to you every now and then)
G-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11--7-7-7-7-7-7-7
D--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9--9-9--9--9--9---9--9---5-5-5-5-5-5-5
A--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just play that until Tom sings "Just you wait and see."  Thats when you go on to this riff 4 times before going back to main riff. I guess it would be called the chorus.
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------/7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7
A-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------


After playing the verse for a while, go to the guitar solo and play this:

G------------------------------------------  
D---------------------------/-5-5-5-5-5-5-
A-5-----2-----5-----2-2-2-2----------------
E----5-----3-----5-------------------------

And then immediately play this several times:
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------------/-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---------------
A-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--------------------------------
E-----------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------------------------------------------------
 
And then this several times:
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------/-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-/7
A-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------



Play the last riff until the end, and then finish on an A-5

please dont rate me any lower than i deserve.  i worked hard on this tab, ive studied the song for a long time and im 100% sure this is right.  write any corrections that will actually help the tab, unlike some other people on this site.
