	        Notes: OK, first off, what you see on this page is not 100% accurate, it is  
 simply the basics for this song. The actual thing is full of more notes,  
 slides, etc, and you should take what is written here and change and edit 
 it as you see fit. The modifications are the different riffs that appear in 
 the song. Work out the order yourself, it's not hard. Oh crap, nearly forgot,  
 play some of this with a slide, i.e. the barred parts, and the song is tuned  
 to open D, that is DADGBD. And lastly, importantly,improvise. It's better to 
 improvise on some parts because a)the song sounds more you b)it helps you 
 develop artistically and c)it saves me having to tab the whole *** thing out.
