I searched the net for a tab for this song that had Kirk's guitar part, but couldnt find one that had it all. So I decided to tab it out. It's as accurate as possible, and I figured alot out from watching "a year and a half" parts one and two and from watching S&M. Rythm - Distorted Guitar Lead - Whip out the wah pedal and crank up the distortion. Tablature explanation : / = slide up \ = slide down h = hammer on p = pull off fb = full bend (whole step) fb(r) = full bend and relaese hb = half bend (half step) ~~~~~~ = vibrato (tremolo or with left hand) x = Muted string string Tab is in form - James on top, Kirk below.

It Was quite accurate but wrong in a couple of places, basiclly here I changed it to be as close as possible to Kirk. For the solo, James plays the main riff twice, then his part of the prechorus, and his part of the chorus. Its amazing how well the solo fits in.

This is as close as one can get. There is a small solo during the outro, but whenever Kirk plays it live, he just improvises and messes with the wah. Just play around with one of your scales and rock the wah. If Kirk doesn't play it the same every time, I don't think we have to worry about it. Any questions or comments can be sent to: seifer00@eircom.net Never give up, Never surrender.
