good tab.. all those intro's sound good

Thanks for posting all the great comments peeps \m/! hammett slash has the intro tabbed correctly up there, which i also learned from the guitar world mag. funny story, i guess i was one of the first ones to email them about the misprint they put in first, which is the tab cobain has typed out there, all 4's should be 5's. anywho, the are some other things wrong with the tab but thats how i played the song for awhile i guess. keep it metal everybody \m/

the intro goes like this D|-------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------| F|---10-9----10-9---10-9-----12-9------| C|--------10------10------10------10---| and so on......... G|-------------------------------------| C|-------------------------------------| . . . .
