I noticed there were no tabs for this song so I just had to throw this in.
Fee plays it in Db but my band usually plays it in C so forgive me if I make
a typo with the notes. If I do, just fiddle with it till you get the right
key but this should be right. I'm not gonna tell you exactly when to play
what but if you listen to the song you'll figure it out. The First Part is
for the Lead Electric Guitar the other half is for another Electric Guitar to
power chord their way through the song.
