Comments:  I love this song.  I think this tab is almost precise, and if you notice any mistakes, feel free to e-mail me and I'll try to fix it, or you can send me the correction.  Also, I couldn't figure out the first solo.  I usually don't tab solos anyway, so I guess it's cool that I even tabbed the second one.  If you can figure out the first solo, feel free to add it.
