I tabbed this song from a live performace. Its really accurate, and sorry for the solo
not being tabbed. There are alot of versions of him playing it live, so I didnt bother
to tab the solo from just one. So I provided a scale so that you can improv and figure
out yourself :-)
Key:
h -Hammer On
p -Pull Off
~ -Vibrato
/ -Slide Up
\ -Slide Down
Intro
e----------5--5------------|
b----------5--6--3--3------|

e---------------------------------|

E------------5-3-4h5--------------|
This riff can be shuffled in between each line in the verses if you want. But its mainly
after the intro is played once.
