From: Martin Hermans 

ZZ TOP
Gimme all your lovin - from "Eliminator"

I did not notate this in terms of proper timekeeping (esp for the solo)
In the places I did not indicate which note to bend to, bend one fret for
one "b" and two frets for 2 "b"'s

Rhythm guitar starts with

-----|
-----|
-----|
----5|
3-5-5|
----3|
-----|

and will repeat this over and over (with slight variations) until the chorus:
