- I think I have this bang on but it was quite time
- consuming to do. The guitar parts change a lot through
- each verse, so I have noted all that below. If you
- listen to the song while following this tab you should
- have no problems (it's easy to play). I did it all by
- ear, but it sounds correct. If anyone can find the
- tab for the solos let me know!
-
- For questions, comments or any other inquiries you
- can e-mail me.
