Ok guys, I updated this version and fixed all the mistakes. It is now 100% correct. The
intro looks a little hard to understand, but it is correct, so listen to the song when
learn it. The intro you can play once or twice, the album has it once but when they play
live they do it twice.

It is not "100% correct". The second chorus is 2222222277777777 and not 2242. The last note is a C#, not an E. In the verse there is a slide from 9 to 11 on the D string (right after all the nines on the A string). There are probably a lot more mistakes.
