This is my second posting to this tab, I've corrected the pre-chorus part & added the post chorus solo but the main solo is still missing.(though it shouldn't be too long till ive got it).

If u already have the solo or later figure it out, i would much appreciate

if u could e-mail it 2 me so i could post it. Thanx.

key:

h=hammer on (to specified value)

p=pull off ( " )

b=bend ( " )

/=slide up ( " )

\=slide down ( " )

#=hold note (hold the note for a while)

x=muted string

X\=pick Scrape

(7)=silent note

Pm..|=palm mute

Drop D tuning. (tune the top E string down one full step)

listen to the CD for timing
