***This is really hard to explain, and even harder to perform,
but if you pull this off, it'll sound amazing!
With your left hand, fret each note, but do not pick it.
Instead, play a tapped harmonic (tap firmly on the fret 
indicated) on the higher section. It will all come together
with a little practice. If you need any ideas on how to
perform this or how to position your finger for those freaky
harmonics, go to www.van-halen.com and look at the video to
see how the incredible Eddie does it himself

Order:
Intro* 
Verse*
Pre Chorus
Chorus*
Verse*
Pre Chorus
Chorus*
Bridge
Solo
Outro*

* These parts are basically the same with small variations.

Well, good luck! This all sounds right to me, but if you think 
something is wrong...just add a comment or something, but I'm
very sure I did this right!
