Here's another forgotten 80's classic. To play this song, you'll have
to tune
down a half step.

Here's the main verse riff. Be sure to pay attention to the rests in
between.
That's what makes it such a badass riff!:

-----0------0--------------4--------------------------------2--3-2------------
---0------0---------2/3----5--5-3--5-----6-----6-5--7-----3-3--3-3------------
-1------2-----1-----3/4----4--4-2--5-----5-----5-4--7-----2-2--2-2--1---------
--------------2----------6---------5--------0x------7-----0-0--0-0--2---------
--------------2-----------------------------------------------------2---------
--------------0-----------------------------------------------------0---------
  let ring


And here's the chorus. Repeat the first bar twice and then go to the
second.:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-2-3--------------------------------0--1-0------------------------------------
-2-2----9--9-----------------------0--0-0--0---------------------------------
-2-0-2--9--9-------4-5-4-------------------0---------------------------------
-----2--7--7-------4-5-4-----------------------------------------------------
-----0--------0x-0x-2-3-2-0--0-2-3--------------------------------------------



------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-2-3-3-2-------2---2-------3-3-2----------------------------------------------
-2-2-2-2-4--4--2-4-2-------2-2-2-4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------------------------
-2-0-0-2-4--4--2-4-2-2--2--0-0-2-4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------------------------
---------2--2----2---2--2--------2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------------------------
---------------------0--0-----------------------------------------------------


After the second chorus, you go into the bridge. To lead into the
bridge,
hang on the Bb for 3 extra beats following the chorus, and then play
this
quick little ascending riff on the 5th string. The timing is a little
tricky.
If you're counting off the beats one-and-two-and-three-and-four-and,
you 
should be hitting the open 5th string on the "three-and" of the beat.:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-4-4-4-4----------------------------------------------------------------------
-4-4-4-4----------------------------------------------------------------------
-2-2-2-2-0-2-3----------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Then comes the bridge itself. You just hang on each of these power
chords 
through eight beats. These chords are mostly palm muted, but on the
record,
the guitarist does play a few of them straight. For the sake of
simplicity, I
only listed each of these chords once, but in fact you should keep
hitting
them throughout the bridge:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-6----------------------------------------------4-----------------------------
-6--------------7---------------4---------------4-----------------------------
-4--------------7---------------4---------------2-----------------------------
----------------5---------------2---------------------------------------------


Then comes the solo. I'm not a big fan of this song's solo so I didn't
bother
tabbing it out. Improvise something yourself, instead.
The rhythm guitar plays the main chorus riff throughout the solo. The
solo
ends with an ascending power chord riff repeated three times. On the
third
repitition, it goes straight into a riff repeated from the second half
of the
chorus, like so:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------2---2-------3-3-2----------------------------
-----4----------4----------4--4--2-4-2-------2-2-2-4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------
-5-7-4------5-7-4------5-7-4--4--2-4-2-2--2--0-0-2-4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---------
-5-7-2------5-7-2------5-7-2--2----2---2--2--------2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------
-3-5--------3-5--------3-5-------------0--0-----------------------------------

After that, the main chorus riff repeats over and over again into the
fade
out.
That's it. Have fun with it!
