It's sure to be a hit. For the intro, you don't need to play the muted notes, but it sure does help. Also, on the C note of the F chord in the intro, that can also be played as: --------- --------- ---x----- -x------- ------3-- 1-------- It switches off randomly during the song, so it'd be hell to tab all of it out. As for the solo at the end, I couldn't really figure that out cause he uses some weird effect which I don't have, so if you can tab it, please send it to me so I can add it.

But just play along with the CD or MP3 and you'll have it. Xtreme Tabs - http://xtremetabs.hypermart.net - 1000's of guitar, bass, drum, and lyrics tabs and files! Professional!
