Tabbed by Jeffrey Swing/Christopher Preston

Right after the drum intro, Les turns on some tone and crunch filled

distortion (Anybody know what kind of pedal he uses? I think it's his good

'ol ADA $600+ pre amp) and strums all open strings. With them ringing, he

uses his whammy bar, which I haven't found a way to duplicate this on a

non whammy bass, because he uses all four strings to equal decibal

proportion.

Intro: 6 times
