you can also use the Dsus chord: xx0230 > xx0232 if you want. i learned it that way first.

what parts are giving you trouble? there are 3 different parts to the song.

my advice is to learn the tab (on this site duhhhh) and then practice the song by playing along and listening to an acoustic version of the song like Live at Luther.

that's how I learned pretty much every song.
good, and you?

on granny Dave usually mutes the first four strings naturally when he goes up to play the slide riff. Then the bassline has a quick tricky rythym of 333 22 x . Try to strum it the whole way through and try to keep it as clean as possible without hitting the A or E string at all.
