Play Verse Riff 4 times

Play Chorus Riff 2 times



Okay, here's where I got kind of stuck.  I think most of the song is
pretty accurate up until guitar one's part during the bridge.  A lot
of the notes are right, I believe, but i think the technique is wrong.
You might try pulling off and hammering on to and from the open Ab 
string to the sixth and seventh frets.

Comments? Feel free to email me at bcress@uark.edu or just post them
under the corrections.  Also, if anybody really know how to play the
bridge (or any other part that I might have tabbed incorrectly) please
let me know.  Thanks.
