In this tab i may have written some timing wrong but if
you know the song well enough you should get it right.
If you get stuck or find it wrong email me
the rest is 100% correct. My mates band played it at a gig
and it sounded like the original so thats how sure i am.

Solos
The solo is played by when there is no singing so if you are
in a band the singer should solo and the other guitarist should
play rhythm
the solo is a piece of piss easy aswell and if u cock it up
just improvise a it is mostly around the minor pentatonic scale apart from th
intro solo which you shoule play correct as it is a key element to the songs structure.
i have just written out the solo so you will have to listen the song to
know the timing

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 MOUNTAIN 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.
