I have no idea if this is right - I have never seen dave play it so I
can't be 100 %, but here is my best guess. Hope it helps.

at the intro
and then at the "stay or leave part its
E, G, D, A, cont
Sounds good except he is playing a chord in between each note in the verse. It sounds as though it is the same chord each time. =)
Where is the interlude, towards the end of the song?
Actually, on the tab.....it should be slide from 5 to 7, not from 6, just thought i would add that
the way I have figured out is to play with a capo on the 2nd fret and then play the chords below:
the intro goes like this--
first part:
--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---
--1--1--0--0--1--1--1--1---
--2--2--0--0--2--2--2--2---
--2--2--5--3--2--2--0--0---
--0--3--x--x--x--3--x--2---
--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x---
second part:
--0--0--0--0--0-
--1--1--0--0--1-
--2--2--0--0--2-
--2--2--5--3--2-
--0--3--x--x--x-
--x--x--x--x--x-
do this back and forth untill the chorus:
Dm F C G
--1---1---3---3-------------
--3---1---1---3-------------
--2---2---0---0-------------
--0---3---2---0-------------
--0---0---3---2-------------
--0---0---0---3-------------
I still don't know the interlude, but if anyone figures it out, please let me know :)
the book just came out however it will be in the baritone guitar tuning. i think i have something that sounds pretty good. let me know.

now back to top and repeat both parts
He acctualy capos the song but it can be played open
--
i play it with the it the capo on the 7th fret. it is a lot easier to play it this way, and it sounds perfect.
capo 7th

then start over from there.
the "stay or leave" part is Am C G D
what you want to do to make this tab work is to strum all of these finger postions. i know that the tab is compressed and probably hard to understand. but just follow the base line and you'll get it.
Correction from up above
the bottom stanza is messed up. it is supposed to read:
-----------------
---1-------------
-----------------
-----------------
---0-------------
--------2--------
sorry
I think John has got the right idea with the capo on the second fret...just add the little 5 to 7 slide and it sounds good....chorus works well
jake is right, dave plays this with the capo on the 7th
Have a look on the aol session, you'll see he's not playing with ani capo...
