#Tabbed by Fred Lidskog <swede@email.unc.edu> # #NOTE: ANOTHER INTERPRETATION OF THIS SONG, AND ONE THAT I NOW THINK IS THE #RIGHT WAY TO PLAY IT, IS TO PLAY ONLY THE NOTES LISTED ON THE LOW "E" #STRING, AND NOT THE ONES ON THE "A" STRING. IN OTHER WORDS, PLAY THE #SINGLE NOTES ON THE "E" STRING INSTEAD OF THE POWER CHORDS LISTED BELOW, #BUT ONLY IN "VERSE RIFFS 1 & 2", "CHORUS RIFF 1", AND "RIFF 3". THE OTHER #RIFFS SHOULD BE PLAYED AS LISTED BELOW. # #Verse Riff 1: #
