  Updated by Itay Chamiel ( itayc@hotmail.com ) : 
  I have updated the intro extensively, basing my decisions mostly on
  looking at Trey's fingers on the Vegas 9-30-00 video. This is pretty
  damn accurate, and I'd be glad to hear comments. There is more work
  to be done here, and I do plan to continue, but what I've done so far
  (until the singing part) is all I have time for right now. Enjoy :)
Intro:
Trey does a weird lick, something like this, over an A chord, REAL fast.
     |:               :|                      |: x8  :|  (end 1) (end 2)
  E-------------------------    -----------------12-----|-------|------
  B-------------------------    -----------------10-----|-------|------
  D------------6------------    --5>6-6-18-14----11-----|-5>6---|-6>7--
  G------5-7-5---5-7-5------    --6>7-7-19-14----12-----|-6>7---|-6>7--
  A----7--------------------    ------------------------|-------|------
  E-------------------------    ------------------------|-------|------
Play the above twice, each time ending accordingly.
Now play harmonics:
  E---------------------------------
  B-12-------12-------7--------7----
  G-------12----7---7----5---7---5--
  D----12---------7--------7--------
  A---------------------------------
  E--------------------------------
The descending riff goes:
                       (*)   D (for a while)
  E------------------------|-12------
  B-15-13-12-10-8--7-8-10--|-10------
  G-16-14-12-11-9--7-9-11--|-11------
  D-17-------12------------|-0-------
  A-------------10---10----|---------
  E------------------------|---------
And then:                 G   
  E--------------------|----7--3----
  B-15-13-12-10-8--7-5-|-8--8--0----
  G-16-14-12-11-9--7-5-|-7--0--0----
  D-17-------12--------|-5--0--0----
  A-------------10-----|----x--2----
  E--------------------|----7--3----
(repeat above 2 lines 2x)
Now:
    |:        :| |:        :|  D   G   C   Gdim
  E----------------------------0---0---0-------------------------
  B---10-10-11-----12-12-13----15--12--13----14--14--14----------
  G---10-10-10-----12-12-12----14--12--14--15--15--15--.....-----
  D---8--8--8------10-10-10----16--------------------------------
  A--------------------------------------------------------------
  E--------------------------------------------------------------
                               (Pick these chords)
  
Play descending riff again.
Then, build up on this A chord:
  E--0--
  B--0--
  G--6--
  D--7--
  A--0--
  E--0--
  (no chord)
    As he saw his life run away from him
    Thousands ran along,
    Chanting words from a Psalm...
  (Play same open A chord)
    As he saw his life run away from him
   (D?) Thousands ran along (A),
    Chanting words (D?) from a song (A)...
  (This lick gets played where it says *duh* "Lick")
   |:                    :|
  E-----------------------
  B-----------------------
  G--6^(7)--6-4-6-4---6---
  D-----------------5-----
  A---------------------7-
  E-----------------------
   A                     G
    Please me, have no regrets (lick)
   
   A                     G
    Please me, have no regrets (lick)
   A              G      A  
    Came from the baby's mouth
                                    Em
    We follow the lines going south
   (Repeat first two, building up on "came from the.."
    A                
    Came from the.. came from the..
    G      D        A    (nc)                             Em
    Baby's mouth......... we follow the lines going SOUTH!
  Then comes a series of Jammings done on Em...
       |:                     :|
  E-(0)-----------------------------
  B-(0)-----------------------------
  G-(0)------0----0----0----0-------
  D-(2)-----7----5----4----2--------
  A-(2)----7----5----4----2---------
  E-(0)---0----0----0----0----------
  Then:
  Em > G > Am > C
   |:              :|
  E------------------
  B--3--3-4-3--3-4---
  G--3--3-3-3--3-3---
  D--1--1-1-1--1-1---
  A------------------
  E------------------
  Em > G > Am > C    |:              :|
  E------------------
  B--5--5-6-5--5-6---
  G--5--5-5-5--5-5---
  D--3--3-3-3--3-3---
  A------------------
  E------------------
  All Slides...
  E------------------------------------------------------
  B------------------------------------------------------
  G------------------------------------------------------
  D---17->-15->-14->-15->-14->-12->-17->-15->-19->-21-??-
  A------------------------------------------------------
  E------------------------------------------------------
  Then
   |:              :|
  E------------------
  B--7--7-8-7--7-8---
  G--7--7-7-7--7-7---
  D--5--5-5-5--5-5---
  A------------------
  E------------------
   |:              :|
  E------------------
  B--5--5-6-5--5-6---
  G--5--5-5-5--5-5---
  D--3--3-3-3--3-3---
  A------------------
  E------------------
  back to
       |:                     :|
  E-(0)-----------------------------
  B-(0)-----------------------------
  G-(0)------0----0----0----0-------
  D-(2)-----7----5----4----2--------
  A-(2)----7----5----4----2---------
  E-(0)---0----0----0----0----------
  Then the lights go up and Trey wails a D > Dsus...(listen to
  a recording for timing info..
  E-2->-3-
  B-3->-3-
  G-2->-2-
  D-0->-0-
  A-------
  E-------
  Then back to the Em .. building up (I think he slides the B and E
  notes of the Em Chord (second fret, strings 4+5) up to build things
  up into the D>Dsus...
  Back to
   |:               :|  |:             :|  D   G    C   Gdim
  E----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  B--10---10--11--10------12---12-13-12----15--15---13----14--14--14-----------
  G--10---10--10--10------12---12-12-12----14--16---12--15--15--15--.....------
  D--8----8---8---8-------10---10-10-10----16--17---14-------------------------
  A----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  E----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Then the descending G line, then some chords which I haven't quite figured out
  ... it ends on a D chord.
