NOTES:
- Rhythm guitar repeats the main riff throughout
the entire song and plays Fill #1 after the
last line of the chorus.
- Lead guitar plays the licks and the solo, and
plays Fill #2 after the last line of the chorus.
- During chorus, play the main riff starting from
the second line of tab.
- There are no guitars during the verses (only drums).
- I haven't transcribed the solo here.. it's tough!
Here's the entire song setup, with the lyrics:
