Tuning: Standard

This is the lead guitar part of the song. Sounds best played clean on a Les Paul & tube amp.
I included portions of the lyrics above the stave to help with timing, and below each stave is

how many to play it, if applicable. I hope it's not too hard to read. This is my very first tab,
so go easy on the commentary! :) Enjoy!
