This song is mostly just him playing the main riff over and over

again with ad libs, so I will just tab each of those ad libs seperately. Ad Lib 1:
G 7p6 6 7 7 6
D 7 9 7p6 4 7p6
A 5h7
E 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Ad Lib 2:
G 9/11 9 7 9 7
D 7 7 7h9 9 7 7h9
A
E 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Ad Lib 3:
G 7 6 7 7 6
D 7 6 7 7 6\4 7p6
A 5h7
E 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Fill 2:
G
D 0 2 0 2 4 6 4 6 7
A 0 2 4
E 0 2 4
For the part where he talks just keep playing open E string until

The near end, that's when you go back to the main riff.

Every ad lib I didn't tab is just a very slight variation of an ad lib I already tabbed. Once you know all the ad libs I tabbed, I it is very easy to get the ones I didnt tab, because they are basically the same thing.

Outro:

G 9 7 7 6
D 9 7 6 7 6
A 9 7
E 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
G 9 7
D 9 7 6 7 6 6
A 9 9 7
E 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Repeat this last line twice, then do this: G------------------------------------------------------------------9-7-------------------
D 9 7 6 7 6 6
A 9 9 7
E 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Let that last note ring. If you have any comments or corrections please tell me. I would love to know if this helped. Thanks and enjoy!
