	        tuning: gtr 1: standard  
 
	gtr 2: drop D (DADGBe) 
	you could get away with playing it in standard tuning if you want 
	just remember to change chords like (777xxx) to (577xxx) 
 
	gtr 3: drop D or standard, it doesnt matter 
 
 
this should be about 90% right (except the strumming pattern), 
i know it is better than the other tabs ive seen for the song.  
I used a live recording to help me figure it out 
(triple j live at the wireless from a '96 concert) 
you can hear him tune down to drop D on this recording 
 
 
give ya a heart attack ..

i know the notes in the above two parts are half a steps difference but thats what it  
sounds like to me 
 
 
 
 
 
i know its not perfect, i think there are tiny licks in the chorus that ive missed 
but its better than others i have seen
