Legenda:
/ @ \ = slide on @ slide off
(note) = hold the note without playing it
L = legato ("hammer on" or "pull off")
Note: although the "Brave New" album is usually played by three
guitars, this is a classic two-coupled-guitars song (so
Guit1=Murray&Smith Guit2=Gers). I have also a single-guitar
tab of this song: if you want it, e-mail(an advice: that
version is MUCH HARDER).
