						    -end of Riff 3

Then play Riff 2 once to end the chorus.

Solo- I haven't figured it out yet. I'll work on it but if anyone out there knows it, send it in.
Rythym Guitar plays Riff 1 during the solo.

*These are all the riffs in this song. There are variations to the chorus the 3rd time through. Listen
to the song to figure the order out, it's not bad.
But if there's any questions, the solo, or corrections e-mail me.
