    I didn't try to figure out all of the little extra guitar parts or harmonies but I think I got the main stuff. You'll have to figure out the timing for yourself. There is also a lot a wah wah stuff in this song. I didn't indicate which parts use the wah pedal because I thought you could figure that out for yourself if you have one.

    This is just an example of the kind of thing Jeff plays for the intro.
    I can't write it out exactly, but I know it's based on this scale so it
  • should give you the basic idea. Variations of this are repeated
    throughout various parts of the song.
