This next part is kinda crazy, so hang in there, and

be sure to read the little notes i included, or you

won't play the right part at the right time....

except before the solo, and the

last time on the solo before the bridge,

The last time of the solo/chorus,

do this. it starts the same, but ends

with a weird slidy hammer on thing

right before the bridge...

b|--------------------------------------------|

---------------------------------------------

thats about the end of the craziness, so if

you followed my directions and read the notes

i included, you should have made it through

fine...

---------------------------------------------

bridge:

First two times if you listen close, he does this,

then the next part.

g|----------------------------12------12-|
d|----12------10-----10------------------|
a|----------8---8--8---8--1010---1010----|
e|-10---10-------------------------------| x2
b|---------------------------------------|

heres the part that everyone thinks he does 4 times,

but he only does it the second 2 if you listen close...

the two parts are extremely similar cept for the

octave note in the first one....

g|----------------------------12------12-|
d|------------10-----10------------------|
a|----12----8---8--8---8--1010---1010----|
e|-10---10-------------------------------| x2
b|---------------------------------------|

now the other part of the bridge, where the congo things come in...

g|------------------------------------------------------------------|
d|---------------------------5--------------------------------------|
a|--5--55-6-8--88--5-----------8-6-5--5-68------5-------------------|
e|--------------------6-66-8---------------------6--5-66-5-6-6-8--5-|x4
