This is a tab I found on UG, it's got not author so I can't say who transcribed
all the chords, but I completely re-did the solo, I couldn't find a decent tab of
it anywhere on the net.
I also formatted so it's a bit easier to follow through with the song. The solo is
going to be a bit off but it's pretty damn close.
If your interested, I transcribed the solo off of a Youtube clip, only decent one
I could find, here's the link to the clip, it may help :) ENJOY!!!
