You are wrong on the intro and everything else. You have the right idea but you're not in the right position.

Heres how you play the intro and the solo

E-----------------------------------------------------
A--12----------10---------7--------8------------------
D------10----------9---------5--------7---------------
G----------12---------10--------4--------5------------
B-----------------------------------------------------
e-----------------------------------------------------

E-----------------------------------------------------
A--12---------10--------7---------8-------------------
D-----10----------9--------5---------7----------------
G---------9----------7--------4---------5-------------
B---------------------------------------5-------------
e-----------------------------------------------------

Thats the intro

Heres the solo

All played on the high e-string

e--12-10-12-12-12-10-12-7b-5-10-8-10-10-10-10-12-7b-5

e--12-10-12-12-10-12-7b-5-10-8-10-10-10-8-10-10-12-7b-5-0

thats it

KIng again	March 7, 2004, 17:39
I put one extra 10 in on the solo, but you can figure it out
