ROCK'N'ROLL, DOGS! I noticed a complete lack of
JSBX tabs on the 'net and decided I'd whip these
out so we can rock! Enjoy. The rythms aren't
perfect, but if you have the CD you'll be able
to figure it all out!

the second outro part is the verse played with
a completely steady rythm.

song structure:
intro
verse
chorus
verse
chorus

chorus
interlude
solo

outro

the chorus is followed by the first bars of a verse,
then one of the lead-ins. After this the verse is
played up until the chorus lead-in. Listen to the
CD and you'll get the hang of it. I don't have the
solo yet, hopefully I'll be able to get the rest
of it down soon. ROCK'N'ROLL!!
