 It'd be hard to put it all, but ill put a few parts of it that are cool...
 
 Intro:
 
 A string: -0-3-7-12-7-3- (four x) -0-5-9-12-9-5- (four x)
 
 - play the indicated patterns tapping on the A string: use the 1st
 and 4th fingers for the notes on frets 3 & 7 and 5 & 9 and tap the
 note on the 12th fret with the right hand finger....
 
 Play same exact pattern as before on the D string but end with the tapped note
 (youll have to listen to it to get the jist...)
 
 G str: -0-3-7-12-7-3-0-3-7-12-7-3-0-5-9-12-9-5-0-5-9-12-9-5- (two times but
 end with the last tapped note --------------------^
 - again, tap the notes on the 12th fret..
 
 high E -12-7-12-8-7-12-5-
 B: -12-8-7-5-
 G: -12-8-7-5-
 D: -12-8-7-5-
 A: -12-8-7-5-
 this lick is a fretboard pattern that is the same on each string down the
 neck.. tap the notes on the 12th fret and pull off the rest.. work your way
 from the high E string down to the A string..
 
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 -2----5-4----5-4----2\1-2------10-7-4----1-2-1/2----5-4--5-4-2\1------------2-
 -2----5-4----5-4----2\1-2------10-7-4----1-2-1/2----5-4--5-4-2\1--2-2-2-2-2-2-
 ------------------------------------------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-0-
 -2-----------------------2----------------------2-----------------0-0-0-0-0---
 
 listen to it for tempo... at each f# played on the low E string, play it in
 eighth notes until the next chord.... the \ denotes a slide.... this carries
 you into the main theme to the song which is based on the A chord .....dont
 have time to put it in but see if u can figure it out... it uses pulloffs
 at the 5th fret of G str first time and pull offs from 3rd fret to open on the
 A str when it kicks in.... have fun.. Rob

 (I've deliberately left out hammer/pull notation because they are too 
 obtrusive in such numbers. I've given an example of what to do)
