  			The first thing you hear is a slide, on beat four, as a pickup:   
I'll separate these into measures.  There isn't too much variation in this  
song, but please play it up here on the fretboard, it's so much cleaner!!!

Play through this sequence twice before vocals come in, then listen.  When he  
makes the kissing noise, then you know you're through.  That's the whole  
song, simple enough?  I'm not saying this is the only way to play it, but I've  
found few sounds that come close to that of David Ellefson's mean tone and  
supportive, yet driving bass lines.  I feel that this is as close a representation.
