This is the intro, taking you up to the chorus. ("Good Times, Bad
Times...") There are actually two guitars here, but I've tried to simplify
things as much as possible for one. Also, watch for minor changes in the
fingering, as there are changes not only between the hammers-on and slides of
the two guitar parts, but between each time the bit is repeated. My symbols
above the TAB, "[: :]x mean to repeat everything betweeen the brackets and
colons, and do it the number of times followed by "x", in this case five times.
Here's the chorus, in which I'll TAB out the two guitar parts
separately, as there is quite a difference:

A-----9-9-9---7/12---12-12---14-14-14---7/9-9-9-\9-9-9-9-9---\r for "rest")
E-----7-7-----7/12---12-12---12-12-12---5/7-7----7-7-7-7-7---\r

At this point "Sixteen I fell in love..." both guitars play the same
part, which is:
[:F#5 E5F#5 E5F#5 F#5 E5 F#5 E5F#5:]x3
e------------------------------------------------------
B--T---------------------------------------------------
G--A----------11^9-11--4^2-4-x---------11^9-11-4^2-4^2-
D--B----------11-9-11--4-2-4-x---------11-9-11-4-2-4-2-
A-----4-4------------------------4---------------------
E-----2-2----------------------2-2---------------------
Watch for changes in which notes are struck and where rests are taken
each time you repeat.
Now the chorus comes again, but this time it's in B, use chord changes
between B (x2444x), Esus4 (00222x), and E (02210x). At "when my woman left
home..." go to a C# (x4666x) on "woman", to a B (799877) to an F#
(x9.11.11.11x). Hopefully, you get the picture. I could TAB it out, but it's
not that complex, and I'm feeling lazy.
