The intro to Gel by Collective Soul goes like this.
This is my first try at something like this, please bear with me.

|--------------------------------------|
|--------8/9---------------------------|
|--8/9---8/9---8/9---9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9---|
|--8/9---6/7---8/9---9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9---|
|--6/7---------6/7---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---|

And NOT what I had tabbed out before.
