     The Dm* indicates to play a Dm while doing a quick hammer-on/pull-off
     of the 1st string, 3rd fret with pinky (listen to the recording).
     Also, their little riff (for a second guitar) during the chorus  
     and end of the song is as follows:

                Riff:   e | --5-5----5-5-6-5---
