[Bridge] Tried my best with this part, not 100% accurate:
D#|-------------------------------------|    |--------------------------------------|
A#|-------------------------------------|    |------8-7-0----------10p7------10b-10~|
F#|-------------------------------------|    |-8p7h8----(x4)-7h8p7-----8(x4)--------|
C#|-10-10~-8-8~-3~------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|    |--------------------------------------|
G#|-10-10~-8-8~-3~------4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|    |--------------------------------------|
C#|-10-10~-8-8~-3~-(x2)-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|    |--------------------------------------|

[Outro] Basically repeat chorus and bridge then end on this:
D#|-----------------------------|
A#|-----------------------------|
F#|-----------------------------|
C#|-1-3-5-7-8-7--1-3-5-7-8-7-5~-|
G#|-1-3-5-7-8-7--1-3-5-7-8-7-5~-|
C#|-1-3-5-7-8-7--1-3-5-7-8-7-5~-|

And that's what I got! No solo for this one unfortunately, as I ain't the best at them :( But I hope it's alright nonetheless! :D ************************************ | ~ Vibrato | / Slide up | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | b Bend ************************************
