     Drop the E string to a D. 
     On Riff A as you pick, scrape the strings to get
     the scratchy effect.

  Riff A:    Pick scrape while playing notes. (Do not slide!)

     Play riff A for the first half of the verse, then go 
to riff B for the last half.

  Riff B

     I have not figured out the first solo yet, but I almost
     have it.  So I will not write it.  I do know the first
     part of the second solo, but not all of it.

Solo 2:

|--3-------------------|   This is only the begining 
|-----2h3p2------------|   of the solo.  This repeats
|------------4--2--4B--|   four times before it becomes
|----------------------|   higher.
|----------------------|
|----------------------|

     Repeat the rest of the riffs with the verses. 
     This song is pretty easy to play.  It sounds
     good with the CD.
