- [Actually in A; capo 2.][Each chord is half a measure.][The little melody thing in the intro (and elsewhere) is just G and Gsus4;
- do it by using your index finger to switch back and forth quickly from3x0003 to 320013. I marked it in the chords as G*.]

- GUITAR SOLO TAB:* It's probably actually played in A with no capo, but I find it easier in G.
- (I got this by translating some piano sheet music into tablature.)* "tri" denotes sixteenth-note triplets. "triplets" are eighth triplets.* The marks below the tab lines are timing; they're mostly accurate.
- * An equal sign (=) is a hammer-on or pull-off. When there wasn't room forthe marker, I put the numbers and equal signs in parentheses below the tab.I did that so that 1=0 wouldn't be confused with the number 10 (ten).
