NOTE: Many parts of this tab exclude multiple strikings of chords,
other parts (eg. the first line) don't. If the tab seems misleading,
make sure u listen to the song, or know it well, especially for the
solos; the timing and speed indicated is totally wrong so try not to
play it too literally. If u look closely its all there...

And thats about all of it.

Note: knowing Cheney, I've probably left out a whole lot of
vibrato/slides, so make sure to use tons in the solos ;)
