Broken Things

Thanks to gcom007 for fine tuning the tab after the D&T video came out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UUWwX1lbLI&hd=1

I worked this out and verified the voicing positions once I saw the video. This should be pretty much dead on.

Video from the Dave & Tim debut of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UUWwX1lbLI&hd=1

Looks different from the tab.

I might be absolutely mad, but I don't think the intro is right--and I keep going back and forth. I think you get something closer to this after watching/listening to that Dave and Tim video...

I hear a lot of open strings! Dave incorporates those a lot so he can strum like a madman and still hit notes. It's still not exactly right though. There's something about his strumming pattern on the intro, but I can't quite peg it down...
