Tabbed by:  Old Rasputin

Tuning: C standard (C,F,Bb,Eb,G,c)

Note: All note names are written as 
though we are in standard tuning, as
 I
      refuse to re-learn my 
fretboard in C.

Note: Sometimes I feel it necessary 
to notate rhythm, My conventions are
 as
      follows:
                W = whole note/rest 
         R = rest
                h = half note/rest
                q = quarter 
note/rest        /
                e = eighth note/rest
       o/o = repeat previous bar
                s = sixteenth 
note/rest    /
                h.= dotted half note

                Tied note values are
 connected with an underscore.
                example: s__(s)  (a 
16th tied to another 16th)

                anything under: 
/--3--\ is a triplet

                Double bar lines 
indicate the end of sections.

                Bar lines occur 
every 4 beats.

The 1st two times through, the lead 
guitar only does hits on beat 1 and 
then
joins in full force for the 3rd and 
4th time through.

There are certainly other ways to 
finger this lead and I prefer to
simplify it by substituting the  
Eb--16p14p12- for the  Eb--14p12---
E|t's| a lot less hassle.

Instead of doing that harmony part I
 would just do:

a unison bend:       or maybe:  (tapping pick at 15th fret)

Bridge:

Opens with 4 bars of a very 
processed guitar quietly playing the
 riff
below, with the lead hitting on the 
downbeat of bars 1 and 3.

               |
At this point the rhythm guitar 
starts in on a proper, full chorus 
while the
lead guitar continues to noodle a 
bit as shown.  Beyond that 17b(19) 
it's
just indecipherable wailing.

After the chorus repeat the intro 
and out.

And if you must do those bends 
afterward, try this:

  Gtr 1                 Gtr 2
E|-----------------| |  |-19b-----
B|-17b-------------| |  |---------
G|-----------------| |  |---------

E|---------|| 
B|---------|| 
G|---------|| 

Start with a /very/ slow bend and 
then just go nuts bending and 
picking.


Have fun with it and, as always, 
feedback is appreciated.

Cheers,

-Old Rasputin
