This is the best I can do with this song. I only have an acoustic guitar, so
I can't tab out guitar solos very well. Hope you like it.

4 bar drum intro

4 bars of bass: (repeat 2x)

(Back into more of Billy soloing and James playing his rhythm part with D'arcy.
 This goes on for about 8 bars or so)

Basically the "See you... blah blah" part again with Billy playing some sort of
 Chord diagramF#7F#7 chord over it... either:

-----  --11-or-9--
-----  --10--
--9--  --11--
-11-- or ------ which isn't really an F#7, but you get the idea.
--9--  ------
-----  ------

End on the Chord diagramF#F# chord hits.
