This is my version of this song so I know it is not complete, it is how I like to play it. I also did not 
include the solo or the real ending instead I used parts of the song to make up my own. I also modified 
the beginning slightly.  I did not write the number of times to play each section because I believe that 
you can play them as many times as you want or just listen to the song to find out.  There is a guide 
at the bottom that shows the order I like to play the parts in but if you want to play it different then go 
right ahead.  I know it's not correct don't email me to tell I'm wrong or give me corrections because like 
I said it's my version of their song.
