Bridge

D|-------------------2-3-5-3-2---2-
A|---2-3-5-3-2---2-3-----------3---
E|-3-----------3-------------------

I've also seen the bridge played like this.  My friend (and the bassist for my
band), Chris Burgess, plays a version that plays the octaves of the notes.  Here's
how he does it (I'm not a fan of open strings, so I avoid this at possible, or I'd
play it simple!), if you want to try this out.

G|-----------------------0---------
D|-------0-----------2-3---3-2---2-
A|---2-3---3-2---2-3-----------3---
E|-3-----------3-------------------
It looks tougher in the tab.  However, you don't have to slide your fingers at all.
So basically, you're playing a run in stationary position which is pretty darn
skippy!

Then finally…

A|-----3-
E|-0-3---

And let the A|-3- ring at the end.  Sorry I didn't give you a repeat value on each
line, but...I think you can swing that. Anyways, that's all, peace and love people!
