I'm not sure about the ending on the following line:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------5---------------------------5------------------------------------
-5h7-7-5-7p5---5h7-7-5-7h5---5h7-7-5-7p5---5h7-7-----7------------------------
---------------------------5---------------------5-7--------------------------
Play this to backup the solo and right before the solo starts, there is some
changing in the order of the chords near the end, but I'm too lazy to figure
it out, I know, I should have, but I tabbed two lengthy songs today, so I'm
pooped. Sorry. Play this 3x.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-2--4--5--7--9--10------------------------------------------------------------
-0--2--3--5--7--8-------------------------------------------------------------
Solo:
I can't really get the solo, but I gave it my best shot. Sorry guys.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-b9-9---------------10--12-10-------------------------------------------------
-b8---14-----9-11-------------12-11-9-7-9-------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then play the bridge part which sounds like the verse, then switch back to the
regular verse. Then do the chorus over and over. Finally end on that cool
intro riff.
I don't feel like this is one of my better tabbed out songs, so please email
me with comments and suggestions.
