Good song, but you'll have to forgive me if the tab ain't perfect.
This is only the main riffs, and I'm doin' it from memory.
KEY:
T =
/ =
\ =
^ =
h
p
g
~

=
=
=
=

play with thumb

slide up
slide down
bend
^q = quarter tone
^h = half tone
^F = full tone
if letter is above the fret #, note is bent THEN picked
hammer
pull-off
grace note - written above note to be 'graced'
vibrato

Oh, and X's mean make that chopping noise that Angus Young makes in the song.
I shouldn't really need to tab that part out...
Opening riff (played behind verses as well):
---------------------|-------3-0------------|
---------------------|-----------3-0--------|
------7-7-7----------|---------------2^F^p0-|
--2---7-7-7--7-7-7---|-X-X-X----------------|

--0----------5-5-5---|-X-X-X----------------|

--2---5-5-5--7-7-7---|--2---2---2---2-------|
--0----------5-5-5---|----4---5---6---7\----|
The Chorus:
----------------|-----|--3-----------|------|--3--|-------|
----------------|-----|--3--3--------|------|--3--|-3-3-3-|
--2-----4--2--4-|--%--|--0--2--2---2-|--%---|--0--|-2-2-2-|

--0--2--2--0--2-|-----|--------0---0-|------|-----|-------|
-----0----------|-----|----------3---|------|--3--|-------|
That later riff:
(play each part a couple of times - listen to the tape!)
First half (4 times?)
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
-----5-4-2--4------2---2---2----|
--0------------4~----5---6---7\-|
Second half (2 times?)

--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
--------------------------------|
-----5-4-2--4------2---2---2----|
--0------------4~----5---6---7\-|
--------------------------------|

That's all I know from memory - I'm sorry I don't have the solos down, but
I'm just not a big fan. Anyway, let me know if you found the tab useful, and
don't say Harvard students don't do cool things on Saturday nights!!!! ;-)
