From: pmaslips@umich.edu
Tuning: Eb, Ab, Db, Gb
It basically repeats this over and over again, with little improvUs to it.
x2
|----------7-5-|------------5-|
|--5-5---------|*------------*|
|------7-7-----|*------------*|
|--------------|--------------|
the next part alternates between these two things
|-5-5-5-5--5---| |-7-5----------|
|--------------| or |-----7-5--5---|
|------------7-| |------------7-|
|--------------| |--------------|
You can also play it one octave lower, starting on the third fret of the
E string. I can't decide which I think sounds better, so you decide for
yourself which you'd rather play.

Tune down half a step (low to high: Eb, Ab, Db, Gb)

Sorry, this is a little hard to follow, but it's the only way I
knew how to write it. Enjoy!!!
