I tab this as I play it, with the low E always ringin'.
You, however, can choose not to play it, as in the elec
version, if you don't like it.  I think it gives a fuller sound.

That's the basic verse riff.  If you can play the
song elec, you can figure out the variations based
on what I've tabbed.  The whole song and all the 
changes of the above basic riff would be quite alot of
tab...

Again, if you know the elec (real) version, you can
pick out the changes so I'm not gonna tab every detail.
