BEFORE YOU COMMENT THIS TAB!
There is a double-tracked guitar w/ light distortion during the song, I know. I'm just
gonna do it right now. Tabbing is a pain itself. And there's bound to be something wrong,
I'm trying hard. The first tab that I think I can pull off, the second tab I've ever done.
IMPORTANT:
If you see two of these "o" on top of each other, repeat the riff after it until you
the ending pair of "o". Saves me the trouble of extra tabbing.
Tuning:
Gtr 1-Keith Richards(eadgbe)
Gtr II-Slide Guitar transcribed for guitar(eadgbe)
