Chorus

Intro

Solo:
Improvise around a DbDb blues scale and mix with with arpeggios of the 1, 4
and 5 chords (or Db, BB and E... I don't actually know) with lots of fast
bends and slides. I'm too lazy to try and tab it out now

There is also a second guitar which comes in after a few bars and plays the
following:

e|------------|------------|-------------|------------||
BB|------------|------------|-------------|------------||
G+G|------------|------------|-------------|------------||
D MajorD|---------6--|4-----------|-------6-----|------------||
A augmentedA|4--6--7-----|---7--6-----|7-6------7---|4-----------||
E MajorE|------------|---------7--|----7------7-|------------|| Repeat until end.

Feel free to make any changes or suggestions or point out any errors,
although I feel this is reasonably correct.
