******** alt. chorus part
you can do it with some easier slides like this
G|-------------------------|-------------------------|
D|-------5-/8--------------|-------------------------|
A|-6-----------------5-/8--|-------0-/3-------3-/6---|
E|-------------6-----------|-1----------4------------|

or get rid of the slides entirely
G|-------0--3--------------|-------------------------|
D|-1-----------------0--3--|-------------------------|
A|-------------1-----------|-------0--3-------3--6---|
E|-------------------------|-1----------4------------|
the way i wrote it in the tab sounds the most accurate to me, but some people might have some trouble with it ******** / = slide up \ = slide down h = hammer-on x = dead note
