Cliffs Of Dover Chords & Tabs
It'ud probably really help to have a copy of the album to play along with.
My notation is:
/ a slide
~ vibrato or tremolo--wiggle yer fingers
' bend the string
h hammer on
p pull off
& Smash yer amp with yer guitar, light the wreckage on fire then dive
into the audience
In 4/4, with a pretty fast (190 b.p.m. or thereabouts) shuffle-ish beat.

This is my bash at the intro to the song; I'm afraid that I can differentiate
the different bits into bars--just play the lot as fast as you can.
