This is probably Gary's most well known cover.  I watched him play it
live at the Hard Rock in Phoenix last Jan. (remember me Gary? I was
the guy who had you sign every one of your albums)

I believe the intro goes like this:

|------------------|
|------------------|
|------------------|
|------------------|
|-4-----4-----4----|
|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2----|
He then does some other overdriven stuff, before he gets to the
lead in:

|-15H17-17-17-17--17-17-15H17-17-17-17-------------------------|
|-15H17-17-17-17--17-17-15H17-17-17-17-------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|

Then he gets to the main riff:

|-12----12~-10----10~-8----8~-7---7~-5---5~-3---3~-------------|
|----13--------12-------10------8------6------5----0-4-5~------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|

There's another version of this riff which he does later:
(Tremelo pick this)

|-12-12-12-12-8-8-8-8-10-10-10-10-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-5-5-5-5------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|

|-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0--------------|
|-------------------------------------------------0-0-0-0-4-5--|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|

And right after that he does an insane version, which I can't figure
out.. I think it starts like:

|-12------12------10-------------------------------------------|
|----10-8----10-8----8-7--and so on----------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|

He likes to use wah in this song, so make it funkay ;)
