Hey everyone! I couldn't find a version of this with a chorus that sounded correct,
so I worked it out and decided to tab the whole thing. Here it is. And if you like
my tab, could you please spend a second giving a rating. Any comments, corrections
etc email me at uk_mal@hotmail.com

Cheers

Alex

Chorus

The rhythm here is tricky to get the hang of. All I can advise is play along
with the album. The numbers above the tab are the beat, good luck!

Very end

Basically just bash the open strings to fill in the gap between
the end of the "solo" above, and the final chord.
