I'd been searching high and low for a transcription of this amazing song forever. I never found one so I decided to try and work it out on my own. Let me warn you folks though that I didn't exactly try that hard to get it note-perfect like some of you hardcore people do. So take this tab for what it is and that's just my own version of the song - the way I play it, the way I hear it through my normal stereo speakers. Enjoy yo'self!


If the text below is wonky and misaligned, just copy it all and paste into notepad and make sure the font used is Courier New.
