G:|-----10--|--12--------14-12~~---10-9~~---|---------------------|-----10--|

D:|---12----|------12~~---|----------------12-10~~------7h8h10~~--|---12----|

A:|---------|-------------|-----------------|----------8----------|---------|

E:|---------|-------------|-----------------|---------------------|---------|

e:|-------------|-----------------|-------|--------------|

B:|-------------|-----------------|-------|--------------|

G:|--12--------14-12~~---10-9~~---|-------|--------------|

D:|------12~~---|----------------12-10~~--|-----12*--14--|

A:|-------------|-----------------|-------|-12*----------|

E:|-------------|-----------------|-------|--------------|

I think most of this next part is right...

e:|--13--12--10--8~--|--13-12-10--8~--5-5-3--1--|------|

B:|--15--13--10--8~--|--15-12-10--8~--6-6-5--3--5-3~~--|

G:|------------------|------------|-------------5-5~~--|

D:|------------------|------------|-------------|------|

A:|------------------|------------|-------------|------|

E:|------------------|------------|-------------|------|

Now, play this again, but replace the last

measure with this...

|------|

5-6~~--|

5-5----|

|------|

|------|

|------|

Then, back to the first part with this...

e:|---------|-------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|

B:|---------|-------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|

G:|-----10--|--12--------14-12~~---10-9~~---|--------12~~-|--17~~-------|

D:|---12----|------12~~---|----------------12-10~~--------|-------------|

A:|---------|-------------|-----------------|-------------|--15~~-----8-|

E:|---------|-------------|-----------------|-------------|---------10--|

e:|----------

B:|----------

G:|---------- Then, some fast D blues scale soloing...

D:|----------

A:|--10------

E:|------10~~

...Which leads into...

e:|-----------|---------------|---------------|----------|

B:|-----------|---------------|---------------|----------|

G:|----------10--------------10-14b17r14--10~-|-9b10r9~--|

D:|--10--12---|--10-10-12-12--|---------------|----------|

A:|-----------|---------------|---------------|----------|

E:|-----------|---------------|---------------|----------|

e:|---10-13p10~-10-10----10--|----------------------|--------------|---|

B:|-13-------------10h13-10--|----------------------|--13~~--15~~--|---|

G:|-------------------------12-12p10----------------|--12~~--12----|-?-|

D:|--------------------------|------12p10-----------|--------------|-?-|

A:|--------------------------|-----------12p10------|--------------|---|

E:|--------------------------|----------------13~~--|--------------|---|

I know this next part is not right, but this is what I play,

and I think it sounds kinda like it so...

e:|-------|-------------|--------|--11~---11~--|

B:|-------|-------------|--------|--11~---11~--|

G:|-------|-------------|--------|--------10~--|

D:|--10~--|-13-12-10-8~-|--8-10--|-------------|

A:|---8~--|-11-10--8-6~-|--6--8--|-------------|

E:|-------|-------------|--------|-------------|

e:|-------|----------|---------|--11~---11~--|

B:|-------|----------|--7*-5*--|--11~---11~--|

G:|-------|----------|--7*-5*--|--------10~--|

D:|--10~--|-5-8-8-10-|--7*-5*--|-------------|

A:|---8~--|-3-6-6--8-|---------|-------------|

E:|-------|----------|---------|-------------|

Then, this cool part...

e:|-------------------------|----------------------|

B:|----------10------8------|----------------------|

G:|--10-9-10---10-----10----|--10-9-10-7----9------|

D:|-------------(10)---(10)-|-----------8----10----|

A:|-------------------------|-----------(8)---(10)-|

E:|-------------------------|----------------------|

Keep playin this for a while, adding this variation

when needed...

|----------

|----------

|-----9-10-

|--10------

|----------

|----------

When the distorted 2nd guitar comes in, it plays these fills...

e:|------12-12-13~--12-13-12h13-------| |----------------| This fill

B:|--/13-----------------------12-----| |----------------| leads in

G:|------------------------------13~--| |----------------| to this

D:|-----------------------------------| |---------7-5----| next

A:|-----------------------------------| |-------8--------| riff..>>

E:|-----------------------------------| |--6-10-------8--|

e:|------------|-----------|-------|------------| This goes on like

B:|--11~--10~--|--11-10--8-6-10~~--|--8/10-10~--| this...then he hits

G:|--10~--10~--|--10-10-10-5--9~~--|--7/-9--9~--| that crazy climb

D:|------------|-----------|-------|------------| riff thing too...

A:|------------|-----------|-------|------------|

E:|------------|-----------|-------|------------|

Now, it goes back to the beginning 8 measures (by now you

probably know what goes where...) Here's the second slow solo...

e:|----------------------|---------------|------------------|------------|

B:|----------------------|---------------|------------------|------------|

G:|----------------10~~--|---12h14--12--10-------12h14-12--/9----7-------|

D:|-----10-12-12~~-------|-12-----12--12-|-10/14------------|-10---5----10

A:|--/12-----------------|---------------|------------------|------------|

E:|----------------------|---------------|------------------|------------|

e:|---------------|----------------|-----------|--------------|

B:|---------------|----------------|------13~--6/8\\6~---------|

G:|----------10~-12-14b17r14--10~--|-12h14-----5/7\\5~-5/7\\5~--|

D:|-----10-12-----|----------------|-----------|------5/7\\5~--|

A:|-12~-----------|----------------|-----------|--------------|

E:|---------------|----------------|-----------|--------------|

Now that one part comes back, but instead of playing the same

thing twice, the second part of this one goes like this...

e:|--1-3-1-3-5-8-10-12-10~--8~--|--------------| Then it goes back to

B:|--3-5-3-5-6-8-10-13-10~--8~--|--------------| the chorus part, and

G:|--------|---------|----------|--10~---------| you're crazy if you

D:|--------|---------|----------|--10~---------| think I'm gonna try

A:|--------|---------|----------|---8~-----7-8-| to tab out that fast

E:|--------|---------|----------|--------8-----| solo...yeah right...

Then, there's this part...(this is how I play it...)

e:|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|

B:|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|

G:|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------3-----|

D:|---------2-3--|-----5p3-7p3--|---------2-3--|-----5p3-7p3--|

A:|-----0-3------|--------3---3-|-----0-3------|------------3-|

E:|--1~----------|--1~----------|--1~----------|--1~----------|

Play that twice, then there's this...(I think it's 3/3...)

e:|-------------|-------------------| It does this twice |--------|=|

B:|-----10-8----|-----10h11p10-8----| and then does it |--------|=|

G:|---10----9---|---10----------9---| twice up higher |--10~~--|=|

D:|--8-------10-|--8-------------10-| and ends on this>> |--10~~--|=|

A:|-------------|-------------------| |---8~~--|=|

E:|-------------|-------------------| |--------|=|

THE END...If anyone has any corrections or additions, especially
