Quick Lick: (this is mostly from trying it from memory, but I think this is

how it begins at least)

D----------9-7-----5-7-----7-5------3-5-----5-3-------

A-------------9--7-------------7--5-------------5/7---

E-----------------------------------------------------

haven't tried the second lick, but i think its pretty close to the first one

only over D, like I said, I'm too lazy to go back and listen closely, but

this should be a start.

Hope that sounds right, better than nothing:) Have fun
