Tab/chords interpretation by Julian Evans (j.b.evans@ntlworld.com)

This tab is my interpretation of the music. I have watched Jan play this
from four feet away and am convinced that the intro chords are correct.

I have no intention of breaching copyright regulations. I offer this tab to
people who, like me, have spent a lot of time trying to obtain the sheet
music only to find it impossible. To me Jan Akkerman is THE guitar player.
Jan, forgive me, I know not what I do!

Intro chords - it's important that they're played in these positions...

The '$' represents the (dududu) chopping riff over strings muted with the
palm of the strumming hand (you'll get it).

Then slide this last chord up to the F position to repeat, and on into...


... the tune (Jan starts at C on the 1st string)

Work this out from the record, it's not hard to suss and you'll find your
own way of fingering it anyway.

 A '\' means slur down
 A '/' means slur up

Must be played on a black Les Paul.
