right, but I think they're close. Have fun with it! Any corrections or comments please let
me know.

Chorus (No real obvious riffs, just ride the chords):

E5E5 G5G5 A5A5 repeats through chorus

Won't you pardon me
Just let it set you free baby if you don't mind let it take you on a ride

Won't you pardon me

This time instead of ending on the A5, play the A5A5 then shift up and end on a B5.

Solo:
I haven't tabbed out every single note because he repeats some of the same licks
several times, but it should all be pretty close to correct. Just use your ear and
you'll find the timing.

 Slow bend         These bends repeat several times.
E-12-------------------------12-----12-----------|
B-15b~-(whammy bar nonsense)----15b----15b-------|
G------------------------------------------------|

A------------------------------------------------|

 These repeat a lot too.
