-----------------------------------
The above information was taken from www.crowesbase.com

This song was originally transcribed by Greg Schuchart.  I made some very small changes.

Tuning: DbGbDbGbBbDb (Open G down one half step)

Intro (after the false start):
Db---------|
Bb--3------|
Gb--5b7r5--|
Db---------|
Gb---------|
Db---------|

Slowly bend up a full step, hold the bend for a few beats, then slowly bend back down 
picking every note) until the drums come in.  Listen to the song for timing.

Main Riff:
Db---------5-----------------5----------|
Bb--------------------------------------|
Gb--0--5b7===7r5-4----0--5b7===5b7r5-4--|
Db--0--------------5--0-----------------|
Gb--0-----------------0-----------------|
Db--------------------------------------|

NOTE: The very first time this riff is played (after the false start), Rich plays an A 
of a Bb.  This only happens once.

Db---------5---------------------------|
Bb--------------------3--3--3-3-3-0-0--|
Gb--0--5b7===7r5-4----0--0--0-0-0-0-0--|
Db--0--------------5--5--5--5-5-5-0-0--|
Gb--0-----------------4--4--5-5-5-0-0--|
Db-------------------------------------|

Hold the bend on the C note while playing the F# on the high D string, then hit the held 
again, and release it to the B as indicated.
