---------------------- Semi P.M.---
note: The parts where it looks like I have the 119th fret indicated came from
the inconvenience of a two digit number (11), therefore no dash. The part
where it says "1199" and "77" are due to this same problem, as well as that two
sixteenth notes are played while up until here the pattern has been eigth
notes. In other words he doubles time splitting the note into two, but not
skipping a beat. This isn't really complex at all, the problem is the way I've
written out the TAB. It wouldn't be confusing if I knew how to do this
properly. Sorry.
Then back to the main riff of eigth note Es and the D-A-D changes,
after which the chorus is repeated. The second time through the main riff and
chorus there are some minor changes which are probably not too hard to figure,
including some slides and harmonics (at the seventh fret). This is because
there have actually been two electric guitars doing this part, and the second
guitar changes to these minor variations. Anyway, let's get to the solo:
During the solo the second guitar repeats this pattern (until the
chorus):

going to do anyone any
good anyway, what with my absolute lack of any time structure here.
