lol aaargh, i was just going over my old tabs and i noticed that i ****ed the solo bit pretty bad. where i've marked the 10th fret of the D string i meant the 10th fret of the A string. that'll teach me to get all arsy about the other tabbers messing up. =P

Haha the last three comments are funny. How can you not hear any bass in the intro? And just cause' your band plays it wrong doesn't mean the rest of us have to. Good tab, and good comment SAZL.
