SOLO: (I would like to thank my friend James Rigby for doing the solo tab)

   NOTE: This solo begins at the times shown. It begins at the end of
      the lyrics in the previous chorus. James Rigby like to place
      the letters above and between the notes on a different line
      rather then on the same line between them.

h = hammer on  b = bend    s = slide
p = pull off   r = release  /
