This is one of my all time favourite songs!
If you can correct things in this tab then please mail me!
The timing and feel is really important with this song. A lot of
the chords are short stabs, just listen for the timing. The solos
got loads of vibrato, hammers and slides and I've probably missed
some or tabbed them wrong, but just play along till it sounds good.

There are 2 guitars on the recording, Ill try and tab both for the
intro, but then its onto just on one!

chord stabs
