No one has tabbed this song completely, so I'll do it.
I've included most, ( if not all ) of the fill-in runs
which you hear throughout the song. There are alot of
them. I've done this in very detailed, small increments
to be more easily read. I've tried to place them where
they belong in reference to the lyrics.

this is an excellent tab. It's the only one I could find in normal tuning. Of course it's not the whole song, it's a few of the fills and licks. Read this, listen to the record and you are stones heaven in minutes.

Definetly this is in oen G tuning. for a great lesson, check out Shutupandplay on youtube for the playing of this song

its a bit messed up but its kool puttin it together, thanks man
