============================================================================================================



Notes

+ I wasn't sure what to label some of the parts of the song as the structure varies from the traditional

+ Intro Rhythm: the last note of each trio is almost a pull off to get that extra sound

+ Intro Lead part 2 Lead is played tremolo style

+ The final chord of the song is a D power chord
