Highway Star
By: Deep Purple
Full credit for this TAB goes to Justin Volz (username:nightbreedfan)
All I did was go through it and make it easier to follow by labeling sections and saying 
to go to next so people might not get lost while viewing this TAB
Also i changed one thing in the intro. The intro should be gallops but he wrote it out 
straight eighths. That is the only thing i changed.
Enjoy
