Nobody seems to be able to get this song quite right!  Now this is nowhere near
perfect, but it's alot better than anything else I've seen:

(Standard Tunin')

Intro/Verse (Keys for guitar)

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------5-------3-------5-------1------------------0---------------0---------|
G|----5---5---4---5---5---5---2---2-(etc.)---1-2-1---1-2-1---1-2-1---1-2-1---|
D|--7-------6-------4-------3--------------2---------------2-----------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

that's an octave down from the keys in the song... if you want to match the
song exact, use this:

e|-------12----------10----------12----------8---------------------7---------|
B|----13----13----12----13----13----13----10----10----------9-10-9---9-10-9--|
G|-14----------13----------11----------10----------(etc.)-9------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

a rough approimation for the chorus (strings for guitar):

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-6s5-5-6-8-3s5--------------------0----------------------------------------|
G|-5s4-4-5-7-2s4-5-4----------1-2-1---1-2-1----------------------------------|
D|---------------5-4-(etc.)-2---------------2--------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

and for the end (then hurt me, hurt me...)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-13-13-13-13-12-12-12-12-13-13-13-13-10-10-10-10--------9------------------|
G|-14-14-14-14-13-13-13-13-11-11-11-11-10-10-10-10-(etc.)-9------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
