Note: This transciption is a corrected version of a tab someone gave me, it?s almost perfect but i?m not quite sure about the Verse Riff 2(could be one octave higher) and the Adrian Smith solo because of all the harmonics he does, I?m not pretty good with those, so you?ll have to figure them out for yourself, but it?s still quite close.
