I tabbed this song from a live performace. Its really accurate, and sorry for the solo
not being tabbed. There are alot of versions of him playing it live, so I didnt bother
to tab the solo from just one. So I provided a scale so that you can improv and figure
out yourself :-)
Key:
h -Hammer On
p -Pull Off
~ -Vibrato
/ -Slide Up
-Slide Down

This riff can be shuffled in between each line in the verses if you want. But its mainly
after the intro is played once.

Play the chorus after the solo, and play then fade as the outro.
This took a long time to tab so enjoy!! :-)
