Tuning: standard
This is my interpretation of the ENTIRE song, lyrics, chords,
tabs including the INTRO, all RIFFS, the SOLO and the OUTRO.
I’ve tried to be as accurate as I can, but I’m open for suggestions 🙂
I’ve included the riffs and the lyrics alternating, so the lyrics should not
be linked to the tabs directly underneath.
