Artist:  Scorpions
Song:    Taxman Woman
Album:   Face The Heat

Sat down and tried to play this by ear and it worked out pretty well. I'm not sure if
it's the right way to play it, but it sounds pretty close to the original in my opinion.
Most of the mini-solo-thing is accurate except for that last part of it. Can't really 
hear how to play it.

No solo tabbed as I am not that good a guitarist (1½ years of playing), but hopefully
some of you can give me some feedback on this. Also this is my first tab.


Tuning:  E Standard (EADGBe)

(h): hammer-on  (p): pull-off  (\): slide down  (/): slide up (~): let ring
(v): vibrato  (*): Mute (By lifting fingers slightly) (pm): palm mute

Each section resembles 16 16th notes (Not good at all this in English, but I hope you
know what I mean, and I hope that you can decode it :-))
