\= Slide Down
|pm.|= Palm Mutes

     Riff 1 is the intro. and chorus Line to the song and Riff 2 generally
follows immediately after it.  Palm Mute Riff 2 to get the Verses.  A lot of
the notes sound like they are or can be just improve of the lines I showed
you.  Any questions, corrections or comments, e-mail me.  I'm not sure if the
verse line is right so if you can help me out, please do.  I'll have the solo
done soon.
