Notes:
-Lyrics in parenthesis are background vocals.
-The riffs may not be exact but the're pretty close.
-All riffs (except the intro and solo) are at the end of the file.
-This is a more accurate version of this song than previous versions,
however, I give credit their respective authors, becuase I got a few
of the chords from them. Sorry I can't give credit to a specific person
or persons, but I no longer have the files.
-Spacing is in no way relative to timing.
-Most importantly: SEND FEEDBACK (good/bad/whatever)
