I just heard the acoustic version of the song and I thought it was a really pretty version of the song. And that's the first time I ever used the word pretty like that. But, the reason I tabbed it is because there's a difference between the actual song and the acoustic live one. This is from their newly released The Singles: 1996-2006 album. GO BUY IT!

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| And that's pretty much what I got out of the song. I saw the video for the live version, i know didnt get the solo completely right,.... Im still trying to figure out what Mike picks so if I ever get or someone else does let me know.... other wise this how they play their version of the song Very similar to the album version...... just the solo is different. | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note
