This is a correction for a tab that is already in the archive. I think it's 
quite correct, there might be some
places that doesn't quite match with the record (this is the version I 
usually play on-stage). It does sound
very good though...=o)...enjoy

after this you will notice someone shout FISHBONE. I usually do a simple 
slide on the E string, or you
can just pop or slap something that you think will sound good, it's up to 
you...

after this comes the pre verse thing again, but now with only two of the 
main
lines plus the final one.
then another verse, and another fishbone variant (well monsters this time, 
but the bass line's the
same...=o)

do the pre chorus and chorus again.

ok, here the weird thing comes, which I haven't bothered to tab out...I do 
have the end riff though:

A------5--------5-----3-1--3-1-3/4-3-1-3-1-------1-3-4-5----5-4-3-1----

after this comes another verse, plus the fishbone (well, monsters, west, 
whatever) pre chorus and a double
chorus.
