Introduction and "I can hear you"

Note the "."'s are on the tab to seperate notes.  They have no value in
counting time.  Each - is a quarter beat.

Towards the end of the song there will be a line where the 9's on the D
string will not be played.  Insted just play the 9's on the A string like
the first part of the riff.
