Updated by Itay Chamiel ( itayc@hotmail.com ) :
I have updated the intro extensively, basing my decisions mostly on
looking at Trey's fingers on the Vegas 9-30-00 video. This is pretty
damn accurate, and I'd be glad to hear comments. There is more work
to be done here, and I do plan to continue, but what I've done so far
(until the singing part) is all I have time for right now. Enjoy :)
Intro:
Trey does a weird lick, something like this, over an A chord, REAL fast.
|: :| |: x8 :| (end 1) (end 2)
E------------------------- -----------------12-----|-------|------
B------------------------- -----------------10-----|-------|------
D------------6------------ --5>6-6-18-14----11-----|-5>6---|-6>7--
G------5-7-5---5-7-5------ --6>7-7-19-14----12-----|-6>7---|-6>7--
A----7-------------------- ------------------------|-------|------
E------------------------- ------------------------|-------|------
Play the above twice, each time ending accordingly.
Now play harmonics:
E---------------------------------
B-12-------12-------7--------7----
G-------12----7---7----5---7---5--
D----12---------7--------7--------
A---------------------------------
E--------------------------------
The descending riff goes:
(*) D (for a while)
E------------------------|-12------
B-15-13-12-10-8--7-8-10--|-10------
G-16-14-12-11-9--7-9-11--|-11------
D-17-------12------------|-0-------
A-------------10---10----|---------
E------------------------|---------
And then: G
E--------------------|----7--3----
B-15-13-12-10-8--7-5-|-8--8--0----
G-16-14-12-11-9--7-5-|-7--0--0----
D-17-------12--------|-5--0--0----
A-------------10-----|----x--2----
E--------------------|----7--3----
(repeat above 2 lines 2x)
Now:
|: :| |: :| D G C Gdim
E----------------------------0---0---0-------------------------
B---10-10-11-----12-12-13----15--12--13----14--14--14----------
G---10-10-10-----12-12-12----14--12--14--15--15--15--.....-----
D---8--8--8------10-10-10----16--------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------
(Pick these chords)
Play descending riff again.
Then, build up on this A chord:
E--0--
B--0--
G--6--
D--7--
A--0--
E--0--
(no chord)
As he saw his life run away from him
Thousands ran along,
Chanting words from a Psalm...
(Play same open A chord)
As he saw his life run away from him
(D?) Thousands ran along (A),
Chanting words (D?) from a song (A)...
(This lick gets played where it says *duh* "Lick")

G--6^(7)--6-4-6-4---6---
D-----------------5-----
A---------------------7-

A G
Please me, have no regrets (lick)
A G
Please me, have no regrets (lick)
A G A
Came from the baby's mouth
Em
We follow the lines going south
(Repeat first two, building up on "came from the.."
A
Came from the.. came from the..
G D A (nc) Em
Baby's mouth......... we follow the lines going SOUTH!
Then comes a series of Jammings done on Em...

Then the lights go up and Trey wails a D > Dsus...(listen to
a recording for timing info..
E-2->-3-
B-3->-3-
G-2->-2-
D-0->-0-
A-------
E-------
Then back to the Em .. building up (I think he slides the B and E
notes of the Em Chord (second fret, strings 4+5) up to build things
up into the D>Dsus...
Back to

E----------------------------------------------------------------------------
B--10---10--11--10------12---12-13-12----15--15---13----14--14--14-----------
G--10---10--10--10------12---12-12-12----14--16---12--15--15--15--.....------
D--8----8---8---8-------10---10-10-10----16--17---14-------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then the descending G line, then some chords which I haven't quite figured out
... it ends on a D chord.
