-hey guys - i wrote this tab out for a single guitar - not two, like it is usually played, and i think it sounds a lot better than the two seperate parts (Angus & Malcolm). Plz cut me some slack coz its mi first tab, blah, blah, blah, corrections welcome, blah, blah, blah, and have fun. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jake Flynn Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard EADGBe Intro & Verse 1

E|--------------------------------------------|| Repeat x2

Once again solos aren't my strong points. I can't tell you the exact part for the solo although once again i'm sure some of the other tabs will have it. This Angus solo is in A Minor Pentatonic, which the scale for goes like this:

e|-----------------------------------------5--8-||
B|-----------------------------------5--8-------||
G|-------------------------5--7--8--------------||
D|-------------------5--7-----------------------||
A|----------5--6--7-----------------------------||
E|----5--8--------------------------------------|| and back down in the same manner   or:

e|----------------------------------------------------17--20-||
B|--------------------------------------------17--20---------||
G|--------------------------------17--19--20-----------------||
D|------------------------17--19-----------------------------||
A|------------17--18--19-------------------------------------||
E|----17--20-------------------------------------------------|| this is simply up an octave.

G A C G D G C A D Then they put in some fills that all up last about 30 seconds. they are in A minor, but once again if you want the whole solo you will need to take it from another tab. anyway, after the fills:
