I figured this song was a half step down as most Poison songs are.  Pretty much the main 
through out the song. You repeat it alllooooottt

The Main Riff is going on during the chorus as well. I think there is something else 
on during the chorus to but I am not sure.

For this I think you can pinch harmonic on the ninth fret on the B string.  Its pretty 
I guess it depends where at on the string you pick it at. Probably closer to the neck pickup.

Theres sort of a solo goin on at the end. I couldn't really tell what was goin on tho.

Also I am pretty sure I am missing something in the chorus but then again there is 
much going on in this song. I hope this helps.  --Jimmy Ashcraft--
