Break 2 is the piano solo that leads into a really simple section, just E chords and A chords, and then comes the guitar solo.

Guitar Solo as near as I can tell

So the order of the parts would be: Riff 1 x3 Fill 1 x1 Riff 1 x8 Fill 2 X1 Riff 1 x3 Fill 1 x1 Riff 1 x8 Fill 2 x1 Slam that E chord Fill 3 x1 Riff 1 x3 Fill 1 x1 Riff 1 x8 Slam that E chord Piano Solo E and A chords Guitar Solo And that's the song as near as I can tell. This is my first tab, so use this expecting some missed hammers, pulls, bends, etc. It's a great song, and I thought it deserved a tab, even an inaccurate one. --kbeeb ([email protected])
