Tuning: DADAAD (variation of Open D) 

Alrighty guys, once you're in the crazy tuning, here's the Intro: 
e|--------0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0-----0-----0---0---------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|---------------------------0h3---3/5---3p0---------------------------------| 
D|----------------0h3--3/5---------------------0h3---0-----------------------| 
A|---0h3---3/5---------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

e|--------0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0-----0-----0---0---------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|---------------------------0h3---3/5---3p0---3/5---5------15---------------| 
D|----------------0h3--3/5---------------------------------------------------| 
A|---0h3---3/5---------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Then it goes to main riff sort of part: 
e|----------------------------0-0--------------------------------------------| 
B|----------------------------5-5--------------------------------------------| 
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|---0-3-0---0-3-5-3-0-3-0---------------------------------------------------| 
A|---0-3-0---0-3-5-3-0-3-0---------------------------------------------------| 
E|---0-3-0---0-3-5-3-0-3-0---------------------------------------------------| 

Play that once, then during the verse, there is a sort of odd variation: 

e|------------------------------------0-0------------------------------------| 
B|------------------------------------5-5------------------------------------| 
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|---0-3-0---0-3-0---0-3-5-3-0-3-0-------------------------------------------| 
A|---0-3-0---0-3-0---0-3-5-3-0-3-0-------------------------------------------| 
E|---0-3-0---0-3-0---0-3-5-3-0-3-0-------------------------------------------|
