Powerman 5000 - Top Of The World Tab

Update 1: I went back and re-tabbed some of the parts, especially

The bridge. I think it sounds better now, and it looks really cool.

I think it's probably about 99.99999997% accurate, if not perfect. Update 2/5/07: Fixed a few notes here and there.

Update 3/13/07: Fixed Solo even more, now it really sounds accurate, ending parts of verse for guitar 1
