*I couldn’t quite put the timing in so I’ve left it for you to handle – it’s not too hard I just couldn’t co-ordinate them together to look played at the same time.

**This is to be played throughout the outro – this is what I couldn’t quite co-ordinate.

*In this part there is a lot of wah and trem. bar I’ve put down the basic run out of it but you can mess around with the wah and add bits in if you want.
**I have put the “}{“ (for wah) at the ends and beginning of the lines. What this means is that you basically non-stop mess with the wah.

That’s all I can do. I realise that there is some missing here at the bottom but that’s because the wah covered up the notes used so I’ve done as best as I can. This is my first tab (hopefully not the last) and I hope that it has helped you. Never give up. ;)
