I have worked out some of the main riffs, but not the improv/solos. The song is mainly
E minor (pentatonic) but does change at times to C# minor (again, pentatonic feel).

The last 2 notes played at the same time are not correct, I have no idea what they are.
you watch the 1988 live version in Austin you will hear it.

I don't know the rest, it's basically a shred fest.
Then back to the riff...

|--------9--------7b(9)~~~----6-------------------|
|----11--------11-----------7---------------------|
|--8---------9------------------------------------|

|---11--------11----7----2---------------------|
|-8---------9------------2---------------------|
|-------------------7----0---------------------|
It's my best attempt, and I havn't seen any other tabs out there, so I hope this is helpful.
