Les is using a 5 stringer on this I think, so if you're like me,
you're just going to have to drop down to "D."  Don't forget: Your

Verse(1):(1:28)
There is one measure of vocals, then one measure of a low bass run thing.
He may also by doing those 7th fret G string harmonics durring the first

Something like this.
You may want to add extra little slaps on the hammer ons,
and some palm muting
but this is basicly how it goes
