After the second time you'll want to play the bridge part
again and then go back to the intro/verse lick

Solo:
Jack dubbed the solo over the main riff and the verse lick
so I'll show the Main riff above the solo for timing.

these parts are played twice
On the second part of the solo the timin' and rhythm are
the same as the main riff, so I'll just tab the solo.

the third and fourth bars of this solo are just
basically variations on these licks.
Well, there it is. A perfect example of how a simple song can still kick ass.
Sorry if its really incorrect, ESPECIALLY the solo, but I was writing this
on a friggin 10 yr old acoustic with no 3rd string and no intonation. Please email
me if you have any corrections or suggestions cuz I wanna learn this song too.
