Most of the rest is just variations of these.

Kinda a cheesy version of this but it gets you by:
Solo

B--8--8-----------10--10b11-6-5-3--3b4-3-3----3-3b4--3-3---

Yet another even worse "just to complete the song" kinda thing goin on:
<-X2 <-X2
E--8---7-----5--5--5---3---|---6--5----3-3-3--1----|-
B--11--10----8--8--8---6---|---9--8----6-6-6--2----|-
G--10--9-----7--7--7---5---|---8--7----5-5-5--3----|-
D--8---7-----5--5--5---0h3-|---6--5----3-3-3--0h1--|-
A--8---7-----5--5--5---0h3-|---6--5----3-3-3--0h1--|-
D--8---7-----5--5--5---0h3-|---6--5----3-3-3--0h1--|-

It's mostly a fingerpick along with a bass playing the low notes.



Tuning Instructions:
Play an open low E(6th string) and an open D(4th)string at the same time.
Lower the E string until you begin to hear the same tone. To fine tune, play
the low E(now D) string at the 7th fret and tune it to the open D(4th) string.

First Tab. Hope I didn't chop up a decent song too much. If you add to this or post this
anywhere I would very much appreciate an e-mail. mocha@gte.net
