Hi folks,
I had to tab this song, because it is so good and I wanted to play it,
but the chord versions sounded not quite right to me.
I don't play all the parts in single strokes, as tabbed,
but play around a bit with up- and downstrokes, which sounds much better,
especially if you don't have other instruments joining in.
I didn't bother tabbing the solo part in the end, because I tried to arrange it for one guitar.
Listen to the song to get the right timing for the singing! And most importantly: have
fun playing it! ;)
