I’m currently working on the solo. I used to think that this song was played in D Flat, but now I think that this is what sounds closest to what is actually played on the record. Anyone know why I can't make a (\) without two appearing in the tab? Help would be appreciated in the corrections. Questions? - johnnyisrotten@comcast.net
