Tuning: EbAbDbGbBbEb Q=80 Note: This is not the whole song--just the guitar solo. Someone else has a tab on the whole song which is very good but the guitar solo didn't sound right so here's how I play it in a more precise version. I also notated note length so if you don't know how to read that then just listen to the song for correct timing. Also, if there's no note below a length notation, then that means it's a rest. The Solo: (Starts around 2:24 and ends at 2:36--pretty short) Measure 1: 2:24 - 2:27

-On the first 9, I do a very slight vibrato where it's barely audible. After the half note on the 9, I slide down the neck so I can come in for this rake I do on the first note of the next measure. Measure 3: 2:30 - 2:33

  ^--I also rake this note, too, though, Billy doesn't. Make sure this bend lasts the 
whole whole note. Very slow bend and not too noticeable.

-After this note, you play an open A chord to get back into the chorus. Thank you for viewing my tab! If you have any questions about how I tabbed it, feel free to ask. If you have any corrections, please let me know in the comments. ************************************ | / slide up | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | b Bend ************************************
