Transcribed by Bryan Pero(perob@willow.uml.edu)

^ = hammer-on
b = bend up
r = return bend down
/\= slides up/ down\

Intro/Rythym figure 1.(ryth.fig.1. is intro w/out muted strum 
and slide from 17th fret).  This is two guitars playing 
together(L.Kravitz and Craig Ross) arranged for one guitar:

Before each verse Ryth.fig.1. ends with this little riff 
(ending on either D or E).  There are 2 guitar parts.  So,
