[okay...first off, you'll notice the "2-5-2" on the E string...it's
easier to play that "A" open:
A-  -  0
E- 2  - 2

I'm pretty sure that's how BOC plays it in concert...also what is
important is finger positioning on the opening riff...you should stay
in second position thruout the whole riff...

with your ring finger on the C#, you'll be able to nail that F# on the
D string by just bending your finger like you're doin' a barre...]

[the following part I like to play power chords...to each his own...
I play D5, A5, B5 and then end it with:
D:-9--9--9------------
A:-6--6--6------------
E:-7--7--7------------
I like the power chords cuz it retains a "heavy" flavor to the song]
