How to play

Just want to mention... For anyone that thinks this sounds wrong, it's because the track is actually about a 1/4 semitone sharp(not normal A440). That's likely because they sped up the tape, thus affecting the pitch(not entirely uncommon--i.e. "Layla"). So if you want to play along to the original, you'll either have to pitch adjust the original track down or just tune to Drop-D tuning and tune it about a quarter semitone sharp(~50 cents #).

This Bass tab is the only one with the correct tuning. Not 100% confident of all the sections, but it seems fairly accurate overall.

The tag riff in the last chorus happens 8 times and the guitar solo riff happens once at the very end. You need to delete the last two bars as well. Otherwise awesome tab!
