That's about it. I felt like putting a complete tab out for this song
it's a great song to play as a whole, not just as a half. Eric, of course,
uses a lot of variation, so you can put fillers wherever you think they sound
good. I thought I did pretty good, and I hope you guys (and gals) think my
tab is pretty accurate. Email me at particleman02@aol.com or madmax34554@aol.com if you have any questions or comments on the tab. Good luck!
