If anybody else knows how to play any of ther rest of it, please tab it and upload it to OLGA. I especially want to know how to play the wah part during the verses. All this tab is is the intro. I was screwing around, trying to to come up with what they play during the verse, and I know there's a D chord and I think a G chord in there, if that helps anybody. They play this in other parts of the song, too though. Where it says "Wah", use the wah pedal to get a more trebly sound.
