There are two guitar parts to this song, the Rhythm chords have been
previously submitted to the archive. This is a full Tab of the Lead Guitar
part including the Solo. Some Lyrics have been included to illustrate the
phrasing. The original is played on a very clean electric guitar though
this sounds pretty nice acoustic too.
