NOTES:
Heres a basic run down, firstly, guitar 1 starts off playing
the introduction Riff A, after which guitar 2 simply strums the
chords until the chorus where guitar 1 plays Riff B. During
the solo, guitar 2 strums the chords and guitar 1 plays the
solo riff. For the final chorus, guitar 1 plays riff C
repetitively and guitar 2 continues strumming the chords.
Although the song contains no "real" verses, I've broken it
down into verses to make easier reading.
(Riffs are found at the bottom of the page)
Please email me regarding any suggestions or corrections.
Thank you.

Now that we may dispense with the pleasantries, Heres the song !!!
