Here we are. I sincerely hope that even somebody finds this simple transcription useful. Especially in the main riff I was having real difficulties, but my dear friend Antti "Donald" Kauppinen gave me some valuable clues (Thanks a Million!!)...There's something still indistinct but those parts are marked with '''''s. Because I usually play keyboards, I wasn't skilled enough to transcribe the solo. Also some fills I left off to save my brain & time & fellowmen :) Maybe somebody will let us know the secrets of Ritchie's fill & solo playing. The tab isn't perfect (stranger) but who cares'' Flames, corrections and thanks more than welcome! If someone thinks this was a cool piece of work or something like that PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Email or write a follow-up! This was actually my first attempt on transcribing so you understand that feedback is important. Keep on rocking! -- Kari "Kartsa" Ahokas kahokas@plootu.helsinki.fi ...hands of metal will bring you down!
