>From the Farewell Halloween 1995 Live Album.

This song is originally recorded with three guitars (Steve, Warren, and

Danny). I will attempt to tab out the main parts since they basically

play the same thing with each adding their own styles.

This is an estimation at best.

The begining is a bass riff that is picked up eventually by the guitars

and used througout the song.

5|------------2--3-2-0------------/7-7\--|

6|-0-2-0-2-0------------0-2-0-2-0--------|

Intro guitar lick.

3|-11-11-*-11-11-*-11-11-*11-9(11)-11--|

or something like that. On the second time slide up to 22 or 24 at the

end.

(Try experimenting with Artificial Harmonics)

6|-0-2-0-2-0------------0-2-0-2-0--------|

There is a section before the verse comes up where Danny is mimicking

the the bends on the guitar or vice verse.

It goes somethin like this:

3|-----------------------------------|

4|7-9-10~--7-9-10~--7-9-10~--7-9-7---|2x

5|---------------------------------9-|

3|9-11-11~--9-11-11~--9-11-11~--9-11-9---|

4|-------------------------------------11|2x

or something like that.
