        (just figure out the timings, as the notes are perfect)

         added sweep pick to solo. thanks Slooj.

         changed little bits nd pieces in: 
         intro, verse, chorus, bridge, verse 3, solo rhythm, ending.

legend:

| b     bend
| r     return
| /     slide up
| \     slide down
| h     hammer on
| p     pull off
| *     pinch harmonic
| ~     tremolo
| ...   palm muted

THIS TAB TOOK ME AGES TO DO, AND IM PRETTY SURE NEARLY ALL PERFECT. 
THERE ARE SOME PARTS OF THE SOLO WHICH I'M NOT TOO SURE ABOUT, 
BUT THEY ARE IN THE RIGHT SCALE SO JUST WORK WITH THEM, 
AND I WILL CONTINUE WORKING ON THE SOLO...
I HOPE YOU LIKE IT AND PLEASE COMMENT WITH ANY CORRECTIONS U MAY HAVE.
THANKS A LOT =)
