Em (022000@1) - 022000                            MsbuK - Slow Bend Up on Mth fret
C (x32010@1)  - x32010                                    to the Kth note
C~~  - Hit once, let ring.                (MsbuK similar sound to M/K)
G (320003@1)  - 320033                            KbdM  - bend dowm from Kth note
G/F#- (320002@1)200033                                    on Mth fret
G/F#** - only 2 strums                    (KbdM similar sound to KM)
GM   - 554030 or x54030 {Gmaj13(no3rd)}   /  - Slide Up
                                            - Slide Down
                                          h (x2444x@1)- hammer on
                                          p  - pull-off
                                          ~  - let ring

Note - The GM chord choice depends on how much the player strums on his
       or her top string. I recommend 554030.
     - The Strumming can be figured out by listening to the song, although
       note that during the chorus, it is something played like:
       e|-0000-0000-0000-0000-0...
       B|-3330-0000-1110-1110-3...
       G|-0000-0000-0000-0000-0...  (General idea)
       D|-4444-2222-2222-2222-4...
       A|-5555-2222-3333-3333-5...
       E|-5555-0000-xxxx-xxxx-5...
       and the strumming is different from the first verse compared to the
       second verse.
     - Pay close attention for timing on the solo.
     - Depending on your guitar and amp settings(tone, etc..), some notes
       on the solo might be at different locations, but they are at that
       same note and same octave.
