Notes: The ending is the hardest part of this song. I can't even feel my 
       way through the rythm until the half time part and even that took 
       a lot of work. Otherwise this song is very straight forward and 
       there is nothing hard about it.

Solo 2/Outro

I have NO clue how to write this out because I can't even figure out when to 
change notes. I know the notes, that was the easy part but if you can figure 
out the timing, well, then at least someone can. I was however able to get 
the half time section of this outro. (by some miracle) The notes for both 
sections are the same (A, G#, G, F#, F, E - Chromatic) and hopefully that is 
enough to get you started.

Half time - 3rd time, Repeat till end
