NOTE: In order to make this tab easier to understand, the repeats have been labled in

the number of times a figure is played. Example: 5x over a repeat means play this

figure five times, not ten. 2x means play this figure twice, not four times. Try to

listen to the song for more sequencing information. Also, be sure and use a pick when

playing this song.
