I tried to learn this song using the other tabs posted
and they all call for a 5th-to-1st fret stretch in the
intro. I decided to find a video of Dave playing it
because I wasn't convinced that it was humanly possible.
So I made a tab based on what I think he's playing in
the video. I can't guarantee that its 100% correct but
its pretty dang close. Sounds right, anyways.
Hope this helps, its an amazing song!
