It took me awhile to make this tab with. Fool with the sound a little bit. IF you play
just straight up it may not sound the best. Please? I put a lot of effort into this tab?
you criticize me make your tab of this. Hope you Enjoy! And remember when you
play and if a note doesn?t sound right just NICELY post a correction. This is all ear transcribed.
Tuning: Standard with a clean and dry sound.

Rhythm : This gets a bit tricky. He scratches around a lot here so I?m just going
to add
scratches where I think it should go. Remember to use effects(just a little .. don?t
to drown out Les? Sound) This is a second guitar. Play this through the whole
song. There is also a chord progression on the tape he used to play the
background. The chord are at the bottom.

Les? Part: He plays this during the other part listen to song for timing.*THS IS NOT THE
THAT REPEATS!!!!* NOTE* THE ?|? stands for the end of that little beat. Listen to the
and you?ll understand.
