Standard 4 string tuning (E A D G)

Wel it took me long enough but i finally figured how to play this song after watching Les play it a million times in a row.  First the EQ settings have to be really low.  Boost the bass a lot and take out the midrange and treble until the number 2 setting on your amp.  Second, explaining how to play this is not the easiet thing in the world.  On the A string slap it twice, muted with your hand over the 3rd fret then pull-off and hold your finger over the 2cnd fret and on the G string, hold the string in between your second knuckle and pop it hard.  I know its hard to understand that but its right. also les uses a lil bit of overdrive on the verses.  For the lazy people who didn't read this or for the people who didn't understand my explaination of this song, i tried my best to tab it out.
