[solo]
Sorry guys, this is a great solo and I'd like to keep it that way. I can
barely get down the
main parts of this solo, and anything that I transcribe wouldn't be worthy
of posting. The
chords over the solo are from the Chorus. Then the chorus is played twice.
The second
time, the lyrics are played around with a little and finally the song ends
with guitar riff 1
played twice.
