a-1h3-1h3---3-1-3-|-1h3-1h3---3------3-|---3-1-3------1-3-* sustain the C
e-----------------|--------------------|----------1-3-----* and:
small pre verse fill:

fill.
"here it comes..."
g----------------3h5p3------|

a-(3)-----------------------|
e---------------------------|
verse parts are funkoliciousness grooving along in and out of the drum beat.
most around the root C (3rd fret on A) i will try to tab it best i can.
X=a dead slap or pop on that string giving the rhythm groovy syncopation to
the drums, Also Les's classic flamenco style strumming seems to be in action
for the chords in this riff and will be idicated with ^

g-----5---x-----3h5-5-----5----------------|
d---------------3h5-5--------------2h4-2h4-|
a-3-x---x---x-3-------3-x---x--3-x---------|
e------------------------------------------|
^ ^
g-----5---x-----3h5-5-----5----------------| repeat these in sequence 4 times
d---------------3h5-5----------------------|
a-3-x---x---x-3-------3-x---x--3-x---------|
e------------------------------------x-2---| or: --0h2-| it varies i think :)
then it goes into a wierd little mid verse riff thats somewhat like this:
g-------------*
d-8h10-10p8---* repeat 8 times
a-----------9-* then back into chorus riff:
e-------------*

g-----5---x-----3h5-5-----5----------------|

a-3-x---x---x-3-------3-x---x--3-x---------|

g-----5---x-----3h5-5-----5----------------| repeat these in sequence twice
d---------------3h5-5----------------------|
a-3-x---x---x-3-------3-x---x--3-x---------|
e------------------------------------x-2---| or: --0h2-| it varies i think :)
then into the opening riff again for the chorus:
g-----------------|--------------------|------------------* repeat *2* times
d---------1-------|---------1----3-1---|-1----------------* the last time
a-1h3-1h3---3-1-3-|-1h3-1h3---3------3-|---3-1-3------1-3-* sustain the C
e-----------------|--------------------|----------1-3-----* and:
small pre verse fill second time is a bit different:
g--------x--5---|
d---------------|
a--3--x--3--x-|
e---------------|
again into the verse riff, step up the dead slaps a bit more, he gets more
into it but i couldn't possibly tab it all out, use your imagination. :)

g-------------*-10-10-8-8------------------|
d-8h10-10p8---*----------10-10-8-8---------| and back into verse slap riff
a-----------9-*--------------------9-9-8-8-|
