Tabbed by: QuikSlvr223

I'm fairly sure it's C Standard on the album, but I find that most of it is easier to play in Drop C. If you
need authenticity, or something, tune to C and shift strings 1-5 (GCFD ) of the tab up two frets.

This is the rhythm part. I'll see if I can get around to tabbing out the solos later on.

Tuning (Low to high): CGCFD

Also play this four times, but when you finish the fourth one, do:

C|-5-7-|
G|-3-5-|

This connects it to the next riff.

Let the last chord ring out.

Here's that awesome little fill. At the end of the second chorus, bend the 12 on
the F a second time, replacing the 10.

                  Repeat this partitioned bit here a bunch. On the second to last repeat, replace the open C 
with a 5, and on the last repeat, replace it with an 8 on the second string (G string in this tuning).
