From: ed 

Hope this proves of some use to you. It may be a bit difficult to follow, in 
which case I apologise in advance, but it shouldn't be too bad. I'm new at 
TABbing stuff and it's more difficult than it looks!! If you know the song well 
enough then you should be able to follow the tab as you listen to it and figure 
it out from there. The fundamentals are there though and it shouldn't take too 
much work on your part to figure it out.

Faster Pussycat
