What Jesse sent about the intro is right except during the song. There is a
variation :

-------------------0--------3-----------------------------------------------
-----------1------0--------0------------------------------------------------
-2----------2-----------2---------------------------------------------------

  hey, I just wanted to add the solo to the tabs already posted for the
song, I don't think there are any right now...

  hey, this is the solo for simple man, I'm Jesse Anderson, I'm only 14, and
I've been playing for about 1 year, so be forgiving..


  even though you may not want it, here's the rythym behind the solo

     a b C, C b G, slide from G to A


   here's the solo, it's pretty simple, but there are two guitars playing, I
think they have the same part
I appologize, no timing, couldn't figure it out with all this stop&go
crap...
