There's a little diddy in the beginning, while the drum and bass are setting the tone for the song:


e|----------------------8-7p5-----5------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------5-8--------------------------------------------------|
G|--------9---7--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------7---5--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

There's a bunch of ways you can play the next part, but I like to play the first several notes on 
the first string, so there's no other notes ringing (you can mute the strings, or do it this way, 
your choice)

(Play this part twice...gotta be quick and clean on the turnaround)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
B|----------------------------------------------10--8---------9-7---7-7p5---------.||
G|-----14-12-14-\9-9-7-9-\2-2-0-2----------------9--7-(9)-----7-5--------7---------||
D|---------------------------------2----------------------------------------------.||
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------||

Chords are Easy, you can figure em out, starts with a A and G minor.  You blues scale only guys 
(and you know who you are, I see you out there all the time), this is a great song to solo
over using 'A Dorian Minor'...fits great, over the solo chords...give it a shot, expand your horizons.
