----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Tim Norton Australia.

Tuning: standard EADGBE
This is the album version from "Chain Reaction" 1990, although I have also tabbed out
live solo performed by Jack Jones (Irwin Thomas) from the 1990 Melbourne "Chain reaction"
(on DVD). The background power chords are noted at the bottom of the page.
Great song. Good luck and enjoy!
