Correct tabs for Primus' "Defy Laws of Tradition"?

Anyone know 'em? The ones on the internet seem wrong to me. Not to mention if you youtube.com it, it seems far crazier than I could ever put together myself. Any help appreciated!

To be honest I've never spent a lot of time playing along with Primus stuff, but I've fooled around with a number of songs.

This may be wrong, but if you haven't already seen and dismissed it, this tab is pretty much the way I play it.

i used to jam to this song often, granted i was never very good at the intro, i played a dumbed down version of it cause i couldn't make some of those stretches 5 on the a string to the e on the G craziness. the intro in the tab Big O gave you looks pretty right.
the main riff i play it like
du d d du d d
G------------66-6-6----------------66-6h7-6
D------------66-6-6----------------66-6h7-6
A---------------------------------------------
E 4h6-4h6------------xx4h6-4h6-------------

the d=downstroke u=upstroke, flamenco strumming deal goin on there.

the bridge is the cool part
this can be varied a lot
I'm finding this bridge tapping bit a very tricky part to tab out
mostly it's just tapping on the d string from between the 14th and 11th fret
and tapping out bass notes on the 5th and 6th fret of the a string then 7th 6th and 5th on the e string. if you watch a vid of this song live on youtube you can see how he's doin it.

that vid will show you about all you need to know.
