This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Please note that Mike Lepond tunes a whole step lower in most songs, but

Im using the standard tuning in this song......D G C F

Beginning verse

G------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
D------------|o------------------------------------------------------5--4------------------------------o||
A------------|o----7--5--7--------------------------7--5--7-------------7--------------------------o||
E-----0-----|-----------------0--5--7--0----------------------0----------------------------------------||

after the second time move down a fret and let the open E string notes from above

be rests. You do this about 4 times until you here a drum fill, then quickly land on

the 3rd fret on the A string.

Next Verse

G----------------------------------||
D---1----------------------1-----||
A-------4---2--------------------||
E----------------4--2--1--------||

Next verse, just going down a scale type riff

A---11---9--7--6------|

Next 4x (i think)

G-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------------------------------------11--10-------|
A-13--13--11--13------------------------13-13--11--13------------------------|
E-----------------------Rest--11--13-------------------------Rest-----------------|

The rest of the piece is pretty similar to everything else you've played.
