Tabbed by thepook84
Tuning C majorC

I made some corrections off the U BB band tab. That was the most accurate one. So thanks
them. This tab is prob 99% if not 100% correct now. I saw them play it live and have
recorded. But then again feel free to make corrections if you do not think so.

The solo came from the U BB band it sounded right but i could not see it good from the video.

I tabbed it for a 1 guitar band except for the solo part. I have the rythm for that.
