It seems like their using a slide, so I tried to tab it out so that it's
possible to play with a slide on your pinky, without detuning the guitar


INTRO(palm muted except on the last two notes) Repeat four times

Repeat four times, play Fig.2, and do the same thing for the next verse.
Then it plays the intro again.

Late at night...          (play as power chord if you want it to sound fuller)

Intro plays again under "I'll get you"

I was born inside a cage...(I've got the bass and guitar tabbed together, and 
                            you have to take off the slide for this part.)

patterns.
