Hi, I reckon this is a fairly accurate transcription of History of

Us. Unfortuneately, I've lent my copy of the tape to someone at the

moment, so I can't be sure that the picking patterns in the solo

and coda are exactly right, in fact they're probably wrong, but

they're pretty close anyway. The picking pattern for the verses is

slightly different each time round but I've only shown what happens

the first time - perfectionists should refer to the tape and work the

rest out themselves.

If anybody knows something about this that I'm not aware of like

funny tunings, feel free to correct it.

Enjoy yourselves,

Paul Hutchinson.
