Whammied notes are signified with w's, tapped notes with t's. The 5^ note is an artificial harmonic created with the thumb of your picking hand. Gaze skyward, whisper a quick prayer to the gods of rock and roll, and attempt this. : -------22w20----------------------------------------------- -20w18----------------------------------------------------- -----------------t12p5h7t12p5h7t12p5h7t125b7r5p3p0-5^-p3p0- -------------3/5------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- 13p10-13p10-13p10--13p10-13w12b15-12-13-14-15p14p12----------12------- ----------------------------------------------------15-13b14----13---- -------------------------------------------------------------------14- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -17-15-b17r15b17r15----19-17-20-19-20b22r20b22-- --------------------17-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ Don't worry, I can't play it like Eddie does, either. All that's really left of the song is the interlude near the end (C'mon, Dave, give us a break!) I didn't bother tabbing out the whole thing because there isn't much to it, but basically it starts with Eddie sliding up to a G#... ------ -/10-- ------ ------ ------ ------ ...then playing a smooth descending thing, then playing around with these two shapes (pluck 'em with your fingers).... -3- -2- -3- -3- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ...then he moves down to these shapes: --- --- --- --- --- --- -5- -7- -5- -5- --- ---
