Solo

The solo is kind of tricky. In the parts with a lot of slides up and
down the fretbord, plan your fingering (it will be a lot easier with
a good fingering). The delay should be set on a quarter note (only the
firts 7 notes are played with delay).

Repeat 4X


After that the song starst to fade. When the fading part begins richie plays 
an outro solo. I won't tab it because you can only hear about 7s of it.




Here's how to put the parts together:

1. Intro
2. 1st Verse
3. Chorus with 1st Ending
4. 2nd Verse
5. Chorus with 2nd Ending
6. Solo
7. Bridge
8. Outro Chorus
