When you play the chords, make sure you have the rhythm right,
I just repeated chords so you know when one chord ends, and the next one begins.

The other verse is the same as Verse 1. Then do the chorus again after Verse 2.
Next is the solo, starts the same as the intro, and then comes another part which
is almost impossible for me to find, so if you know it, please email it to me.
Then, it comes back to the chorus, and again comes the intro part, and that’s it.
I think its pretty close, and nobody else has these tabs here, so any
suggestions, just tell me.
