Have any questions? E-mail me. The strum count is not exact, its
just there to show that you're hitting it a lot. This is an
improved version on Matt Stetler's, i hope. He uses a Dminor for the verse
but I don't believe it is. Decide for yourself. Also, I think
The main riff to this song is only three chords instead of 4. I did
however use his tab to come up with mine so thank you cause that little riff
was bugging me to death being so simple. The multiple 15s in the solo are
optional. I can hear them being hit inbetween but it is probably two guitars
recorded over each other for the effect.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CRACKER tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
