this song can get difficult at times but it's not a hard song.....I'm not too sure
if the intro is guitar or bass 'cause the guitar's clean during the verse while you still
hear this but anyways.... it took a while to listen to and write because there is no real
tab for it so please give me a good rate. I tried my best on this and I'm only 14 so it might
not be perfect but hey I tried lol....enjoy it

After the chorus you can either play the intro part again or do what Terry's doing here

Play the verse and chorus again the same and then theres the solo....
It's in the A minor pentatonic and I'll show you the first part here.

E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He plays around a lot in the A minor scale during the next verse so you can do whatever...
The last chorus is just a bit different than the rest so play this.
( F )( C )( G )( F )
E --1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-----------12---10---8-8/--3-3-3-3-3-3-3---1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-

E --1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1---------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3---1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-
(Outro) For the outro part of the song he plays around again in the a minor pent. but I'll
just put down what I know
E ------------------------------------------------------8h5-----8h5-----8h5------
B --------------------------8b10--8--8b10---(the fill)------8h5-----8h5-----8h5--
G --7b9-7-5-----7b9-7-5----------------------------------------------------------
D -----------7----------7--------------------------------------------------------
A -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E ----8h5-------8h5-------8h5---------------------------------
B ---------8h5-------8h5-------8h5--5--8----------------------
G ---------------------------------------------7h5------------
D ----------------------------------------------------7-------
A ------------------------------------------------------------
E ------------------------------------------------------------
Then you just play the intro again and just slow down as the music slows
Enjoy!
