out, so, er, i did...

eb-----------------|-----------------|
Bb-----------------|-----------------|
Gb-----------------|-----------------|
Db-4---------------|-----------2-2-2-|
Ab-4---------------|-----------2-2-2-|
Eb-2---------------|-----------0-0-0-|


solo 2 (played over verse riff)
-use as much vibrato as possible, and i think a slide
is used (for the end bit mainly)
eb-----------------|-----------------|
Bb-----------------|-----------------|
Gb-----------------|-----------------|
Db-----------------|-14~~~~~~~~~-----|
Ab-14~~~~~~~-------|-----------------|
Eb-----------------|-----------------|

eb-------------------|------------------|
Bb-------------------|------------------|
Gb-------------------|------------------|
Db-12bbbb13bb12------|---------------12-|
Ab-------------14-12-|-14~~\-----/14----|
Eb-------------------|------------------|

eb-----------------|----------------------|
Bb-----------------|----------------------|
Gb-----------------|----------------------|
Db-14~~~~~~~~~~~~~-|-14~~~~~~~~~~12-14-16~|
Ab-----------------|----------------------|
Eb-----------------|----------------------|

eb-----------------|------------------|
Bb-----------------|------------------|
Gb-----------------|------------------|
Db~~~~~~*//////////|/21~~~~~~~~~**////|
Ab-----------------|------------------|
Eb-----------------|------------------|
        *the //// represents a slow slide
       **keep sliding up higher than the fretboard

then there's a chorus, the solo carries on underneath
with the chorus power chord riff. this is kinda hard
to work out to just kinda improvise around Bb majorBb scale,
mainly using the wound strings high up the neck on a
slide (anyway it doesn't have to be perfect, every
time i've seen them perform this song the solo
changes)


outro

rhythm - play 8 times
eb-----------------|--------------------|
Bb-----------------|--------------------|
Gb-----------------|--------------------|
Db-9-------9-------|-9-9---9---12-12-12-|
Ab-9-------9-------|-9-9---9---12-12-12-|
Eb-7-------7-------|-7-7---7---10-10-10-|

lead riff - play 8 times
eb----------------------|------------------|
Bb----------------------|------------------|
Gb-16-14----16---14-----|-16-14------------|
Db-------16-------------|-------16---------|
Ab----------------------|------------------|
Eb----------------------|------------------|


then end on
eb------|
Bb------|
Gb------|
Db-9\---|
Ab-9\---|
Eb-7\---|

and that's it, might try some others on the album but
they sound pretty tricky to work out so may be a while
yet...enjoy
