*NOTE: At the third time another guitar plays a solo. It's not tabbed here
because of the following three reasons...
1. It's hard
2. I'm lazy
3. I always thought of solos as improv. So you're gonna be gettin applause for
stuff you didn't do. So....

Solo in B Minor and have fun. (There's a good soloing lesson. Check it out)

Anyways...

The chorus goes like this with the following chords:
(dots AND letters are eighth notes)

B.C.B.C.B.C.B.C.

F...A.G.F...A.G.

B.C.B.C.B.C.B.C.......

at the end of the chorus a guitar is doing this-

low E|-7~~~~~~~/19

if i didn't tab that correctly, that was wobble seven around, then slide to 19,
then slide down indefinitely.

And then it does this
VERSE
CHORUS
VERSE
CHORUS

And then fade out like this...

    D|-----------9-
    A|-----------9-
low E|-7~~~~~~~--7-

and there it is!!!!!
If the tabs are screwed, copy this and paste it in a fixed-width font.

NOW GRAB YOUR GUITAR AND GET GOIN!
