Tabbed by Robb Anagnostis (checked meticulously at slow speed) 10-01-2002

HINTS
h = hammer-on
    (i.e. 0h3 = play open string then hammer-on to 3rd fret)
p = pulloff
    (i.e. 3p0 =  play at 3rd fret then pulloff to open string)
    (4h5p4 = play at 4th fret, hammer-on to 5th fret, pulloff to 4th fret.
     Also called a trill)
s = slide
    (i.e. 5s7 =  play at 5th fret then slide to 7th fret)
x = rest beat
    (Be aware of the rest (x) at the end of many segments which allows
     for cleaner chord and position changes.)
* = placed over a beat that has a something explained to the right
