Well, this is by no means complete TAB, but it's such fun just to play the intro that I figured

I'd post it. Keith probably used some wierd tuning and played it completely different!

You might have to do some muting on that funny chord.

Also, I have no idea what the "real" key is on the record.

-|--5--5--5--5--5--xx--xx-----------------------------------------------

*This '9' is sometimes a '5' on the live version.

-|-----x---x-----------------------------------------------

-|----14--12---7---5---------------------------------------

-|----14--14---7---5---------------------------------------

-|----14--14---7---5---------------------------------------

-|----xx--xx----------5---7---7---9--9---10---10---9-------

-|----xx--xx----------5---5---5---5--5----5----5---5-------

The 'A' chord (you're playing the 1-5-8 version with no 3rd --

not major or minor) is actually two chords, a suspension that

resolves to the major -- played at the 12th fret (drag).

Once it gets to the break, there's the two chord da Daahh da Daahh

stuff... those chords are

------------------

------7-----------

------7------5h6-- (Do various riffs here)

------7------5----

---7--5---7--7----

---5--5---5--5----

The 5'th fret on the D string is a min 7 interval making the

major a dominant 7. The 5h6 is a hammer-on (gives it that

bluesy feel).
