NOTES:
Well, that's all I have written down! I originally transcribed this
song back when the tape first came out (1987), and I haven't looked at this
transcription since. This could certainly be better, but I haven't the time
to check all my work. One thing to note: the solo as transcribed by Guitar
World is more correct. In other words, I think I got the notes all right,
but they got the notes and the right strings!
I hope this helps, and if you need any assistance parsing the tab
just e-mail me. Also, the spacing I've used is in no way related to the
actual timing of the song. Enjoy!
