Funny I always found it easier to play this on one string like:

G|--------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------|
E|-0-0-12--0-0-7--0-0-8--0-0-5-0-3-2-3--|

Playing to the live version on "The Heretics alive" this was fine,

but playing along to the ver. on "SD&JC" I have to tune the E-string up

a tone(ie Tune the E-string to F#).

The guitar is then something like:

E(XII) B(VII) C(VIII) A(V) G F# G(III)

/ / / / / / / / / /

E(XII) B(VII) C(VIII) A(V) G(XV)

/ / / / / / / / / /

Where E(XII) is E played as an F-barre chord at 12th fret.

Again to play along to the record add a note to each of these(2 frets)

ie F# C# D B A Ab A
