There is currently only one other tab for this song and the guy that did it really
screwed it up so I'll try and re do it. I know that it's a tiny bit off in the beginning but
it hardly sounds any different when you play with the real song and you can't even tell
if you don't play it with the real song in the background. Here goes nothing !

CAPO ON 1st FRET!!
Intro:
|---0---0--0---2--2---2--4--4----------------|
|---0---2--2---2--2---2--2--2----------------|
|---1---1--1---2--2---2--2--2----------------| x4
|---2---2--2---------------------------------|
|---0---0--0---------------------------------|
|---0---0--0---------------------------------|
After that is played three times the first verse starts and it the same thing but ill
tab it anyways..
Verse 1:
|---0---0--0---2--2---2--4--4----------------|
|---0---2--2---2--2---2--2--2----------------|
|---1---1--1---2--2---2--2--2----------------| x4
|---2---2--2---------------------------------|
|---0---0--0---------------------------------|
|---0---0--0---------------------------------|
Then there are a few riffs:
Riff 1:
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|--9-7-6-7-6-7-6------------|
|---------------------------|
Riff 2:
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------| x2
|---/7-9-7-6-7-6--/7-9-12-11-12-11-----------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
Riff 3:
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------13--11------------------|
|--14----------13---------------| x4
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
Then there is a break with no guitar where Jim is just singing the "bang bang goes the
night. All wrapped up..." but if you listen closely you actually hear the bass is playing
the intro while he sings that so if you wanna play it muted it still sounds good.. Then
when he starts singing "so.. Now are you ready to go my lady?" you start verse 2 which is
the exact same as verse 1.
Verse 2:
|---0---0--0---2--2---2--4--4----------------|
|---0---2--2---2--2---2--2--2----------------|
|---1---1--1---2--2---2--2--2----------------| x4
|---2---2--2---------------------------------|
|---0---0--0---------------------------------|
|---0---0--0---------------------------------|
Then you actually repeat the first riff.
Riff 1:
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|--9-7-6-7-6-7-6------------|
|---------------------------|
Then there is a mini solo which ends up turning into the 3rd verse and it sounds kinda
challenging but it's actually very easy to play
Mini solo:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4|
|---9b11-7--6-7-6--7--6-7-9-9b11-9-7--7--6-7-9-9b11-9-7--6--4-6---4-6-7---7-4------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------7----------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

You play this once and then for the second time through it is with jim singing and you
play almost the exact same thing a third time but at the end it's like this
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---9b11-7--6-7-6--7--6-7-9-9b11-9-7--7--6-7-9-9b11-9-7--6-------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then basically the song repeats itself starting from the second riff.
Riff 2:

|---/7-9-7-6-7-6--/7-9-12-11-12-11-----------------------|

This is where things get tricky. You can play what I'm about to tab but it's not 100%
accurate so you can also just repeat this intro throughout. When i play this I like to
hybrid pick but you don't have to.
