This is a super easy song to play if you dont count all the improv solos he does.
He never plays the same solo for this song twice. The best I can do is give
you the soloing he uses. Depending on what version of this song you have I
tabbed out the solo. I have the live version. So thats what I used.


Key:
x -Muted String
b -Bend
r -Release
~ -Let Ring
/ -Slide Up
 -Slide Down
h -Hammer On
p -Pull Off


Intro Verse and Chorus

e------------------|
b-3--10--11--------|
g-0---x---x--------|
d-3--10--10--------|
a-1---8---8--------|
E-1---8---8--------|
This is the whole song but the pattern changed in each part a bit, so just listen for the change.

This is the G Minor Pentatonic scale he uses to play his Covered In Rain solos, so you 
improv off of that.


e---------------------------------------8-9-10-|

g---------------------------7-10---------------|

He might be using this scale also but either one will work for ya!
