This tab isn't perfect, but it's pretty close. There are a couple of parts in
the solo that I'm sure aren't right. If you can make corrections to it, please
email me and I'll give you credit.

Corrections:

1.1 - Fixed a couple of minor things I missed.

^ = palm mute
( ) = pinch harmonic
/ = slide
b = bend
r = release bend
h = hammer on
p = pulloff

Tuning (low to high): D G C F A D
