Note 1: You may find it easier to play these notes as follows:
e|-------0-2--|
B|-0-2-3------|
G|------------|
D|------------|
A|------------|
E|------------|

Note 2: This chord and its trailing notes have been tabbed elsewhere as follows,
it can sound nicer when playing alone:
    .   .   .   .   .   .
e|-0---0---0---0---0---0-|
B|-0---------------------|
G|-1---------------------|
D|-0-0---0---0---0---0---|
A|-2---------------------|
E|-0---------------------|
Note 3: On the album version there are two extra measures here,during which Trey plays fret 8 on the B string. The rest of us mere mortals can simply play the following line 4 times:
   Fm F#6 Gdim G# Adim Bbm Bdim C

(The above two chord progressions are different because they come from different sources. Anyone wishing to fix this may do so.) C My friend, my friend, he's got a knife My friend, my friend, he's got a knife The solo continues over the same chord progression. Here is the tab by Chris Temeles ([email protected]):

                   This arpeggio is hard to hear, and might be
                   inaccurate. But he definitely uses some
                   type of diminished lick.
