   You've been hit by,       You've been struck by   A smooth criminal


The pre-solo, solo, and outtro were also in ender's TAB.
pre:

A|--12--| play 16x with lead guitar shifting up, possibly with a wah.
D|--14--|

This is how I play the solo:
(palm mute)
G|-5-4-2-4-2-0-2-4-2-0-2-2--|

Here is ender's way:
G|-5-4-2-4-0-0-1-2--2-2--2-2|

here's his outtro
D|-6-7-6-5-4-5-4-3-2--------|
A|-8-9-8-7-6-7-6-5-4--------|

And there you go.  You've been hit by a smooth criminal.
