This is the correct "harmonic" intro:
C D

-----5-7---------5-7---------5-7-----5-7---------5-7--------5-7

The 5th string bass notes are played normaly and the balance are
harmonics. I suggest playing the harmonics alone to get the pattern down
first. Yep, the C is a stretch but can be done (dude must have some lanky
fingers or wonder if maybe using a short scale guitar.) Referrencing a
second "unplugged" acoustic version of this tune verifies that this is in
fact all 1 part, not overdubbed or tuned funny. If you can't span 4 frets
from 1st finger to pinky *yipe* then leave the bass notes to the bass and
simply play the harmonics. Note there is that "extra" 2nd string harmonic
thrown in immediately following the first C bass pluck, and the Em pattern
changes slightly as shown... those aren't typos.
Note too that you really need nice new lively bright strings for this to
sound right... if you play it on dull dead strings you'll never carry it.
It's one of the most clever 3 chord tunes around, the balance is pretty
easy:
Csus9 Dsus9 Em
3 5 7
3 5 8
5 7 9
5 7 9
3 5 7 <(w/pull-offs on Em 2nd string)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PUDDLE OF MUDD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
