I don't even have a tape of the song anymore so I can't figure out the solo... I forgot it, sorry. The solo is pretty simple though.... Well I'll write down what I THINK it sort of sounds like.... perhaps someone would like to mail me a tape?? (I'd be happy to figure out the rest of the songs if someone would :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------10---10-10-12--------10---12-13-12--------------10---12-13-13/15--13-15- -9-12-----------------9-12---------------12\9---9-12-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------| -15^~~~-| I'm sure this last part isn't right but it fits...... --------| Man, I gotta get this CD as soon as I get some cash, --------| this is such a kickin' tune!!! --------| As a matter-o-fact, this was the first song I ever learned!!! --------| The sound Eddie gets is the result of a good flange sound and I assume a Marshall cranked up to eleven!
