Notes:
The rhythm guitar is played clean with upstrokes.
I get a decent replication of the lead guitar sound with just my
Strat and Marshall amp (on lead channel with reverb all the way to 11).
During the verse the rhythm guitar plays the chords listed while the
lead guitar plays the verse riff. During the chorus the lead guitar
plays the chords listed, but as barre chords.
I have not tabbed the solo, but will hopefully add that soon.
There may be a few minor discrepancies but I think the following is
pretty close.
