This tab should be 100% correct, but if you find something incorrect, you can
post a comment, so I can fix it. This is one of my favorite songs to play.
I play this song with all it's riffs, so this is as close as I could get it
to the real thing with just chords. Hope you enjoy my interpretation of this
song.
