Here it is boys and girls the complete tab to Bat Out of Hell. Hope you like it.

This is probably the best tab you'll find online.
For the solo, it's not completley accurate but you can improvise a little if you want.
This song is best played on a guitar with a whammy bar. Since my guitar doesn't have one
have altered it a little.

The timing might be off in some spots, just listen to the recording. The rythym is not
but listen to the recording and you'll get it.
