This is such a great song and I wanted to play it, couldn't find it on UG so found it
and put it up.
Thanks to Mike for tabbing such a great song.
_________________________
My son and I have had many heated discussions on how to play the opening riff, this
is what I've got so far. The banjo/acoustic interlude is a work in progress, hope
to spend some more time on this soon and work on the solo also! Mike
