This is one of the best Incubus songs, and one of the most fun to play.  Here's my version,
I'm very confident this is correct.  I've tried to tab it as "Dirk-esque" as possible.  If
you don't believe me, watch them play it live.  Or pick up the Morning View Sessions DVD,
they recorded it live on there (an extremely high quality recording as well).

Legend:
H: Harmonic		/: Slide up

And that's that.  If you think this tab is wrong and you haven't watched them play it live,
please do so before giving me a crappy rating... I would appreciate it.  Any questions,
comments, criticism, either put them in comments or email me at triplehat@attbi.com.
