Here's a way my old guitar teacher & i came up with a long time ago.. thought i would post it.. its the verse to Ants.. i play the rest of the song the same as jkanter heh..
E-2--x-x-x-----------------3--x-x-x-----------------
B-3--x-x-x-----------------0--x-x-x-----------------
G-2--x-x-x-----------------0--x-x-x-----------------
D-0--x-x-x--4h5---5-0------0--x-x-x---\5h7----7-0---
A------------------4----------2-------------------5--------
