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
