I have waited forever to find a tab that works good for this song and I got tired
of waiting so I wrote my own.
This tab is for drop D tuning and the song is in the key of Bm.
X = Dead Note
<> = Natural Harmonic
br = bend release
bh = bend and hold
v = vibrato
b = bend
p = pull-off
h = hammer-on

You can use either B power chord like in the pre-chorus.

First Note of bridge solo (1:53) He plays with a lot of legato pretty quickly in a
Bm scale box shape between
the 7th and 12th frets (with a slide from the 5th to the 7th in there).
You can improvise and sound pretty close.

Solo (2:06) There is a video on youtube of Joe playing this solo on camera and
that's the only reason
I don't think this solo starts on the 9th fret of the A string and runs from there.
I think it sounds just as good either way though.

Rhythm plays bridge
Lead tap (2:48) I don't know how to tab tapping technique properly but
hold frets 7 and 9 with your left hand
THEN tap fret 16 with your right hand
THEN pull-off fret 9.
Play increasingly faster.

If you have any corrections please post them for the benefit of everyone. Including myself.
Hopefully this tab was easier to read and understand than some of the others.
