Now the main riff (if you will) to the whole song can be played in two ways.
The first way:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------1-----------4h6-4---------------------------------------------------|
D|----2-----2-----2----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-4-----------4-------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The second way:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------0h2-0---------------------------------------------------|
G|-------1-------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----2-----2-----2----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-4-----------4-------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Differences being the first way is played on the strings E A D G, while the
second is played on the strings E A D G B. The latter sounds more like how they
play it (better tonality, for lack of a better word), while the first is
easier on the hands.
