That's about all of the song.  I think there might be a small problem with the main riff,
it sounds slightly off, but if you play with it some you can probably get it right.
I did the best I could on the solo, all you really need to know is that Mr. Richards
is on the D penatonic scale, and anything will sound the same.  Standard tuning.  Enjoy!
