This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

The above is the introduction and most of the song. Do a lot of

improvisation on the hammer ons and pull offs. The most important thing

here is to accentuate the low notes that go E F# E A (even though the

bass uses a slightly different pattern).

And I never know the reasons..........

-3---3---3--3--3--3-----0--------0--0--0--0--;-------------------|

Play the part before the semicolons 3x, then hit the B and A variations.

Use your wammy bar to gently tremolo these chords after the semicolon.

That's somewhat the solo. Just screw around with the octave formation up

and down the fret board and you'll be able to make it sound correct.

That's the whole song. Any questions, comments, or requests, just write
