------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Antaios Email: [email protected] For this solo, it's pretty much the same thing, only with small tweaks and variations. I'm not going to get every detail because the whole cd is so muffled. Anyway, here you go:

It opens as such
e|5--5-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|5--6--6-----------6-5------6-5------6-5------6-5---------------------------|
G|5--7-----5-4----5--------5--------4--------5-------------------------------|
D|7--7----------7--------7--------6--------7---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then, it gets a little smoother
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------6---5--------6---5--------6---5--------6---5---------------------------|
G|----5---7--------5---7--------4---7--------5---7-----------------------------|
D|5/7----------5/7----------4/6----------5/7-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Somewhere in there, you'll wanna throw one of these in...
e|-----8-7--5----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--5------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|7--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

...or this
e|8p5-7-5---5----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------8------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

This is the most fun part of the solo (at about 2:22)
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------6-5-------------------5-5--------------------------------------6-5---5-|
G|--5--7------[7--5-4-5-7(x4)]------7-5--4h5p4-----------4-7-5-4---4-5-7-----7---|
