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

This is my first attempt at tabbing, so please be kind. Joe uses a lot

of vibrato in this song. I have not indicated it all because some is

rather subtle. He uses some hand vibrato and some whammy bar, but I

have just written it all as "vibrato". Personally, I use the whammy bar

throughout most of the song, but either will do. Just listen to the song

to get it right. If you have any questions or comments, let me know.
