#
#I have most of the song down, but I haven't heard it for about a year, and I
#just dug up a transcription I did from a year ago so here it is. This song is
#a lot of fun to play!

#Riff A – play twice

Next comes the solo. I did the rhtyhm part, but I was too lazy to do the
solo, because Joe Perry is a very sloppy player, and especially in this solo.
Solo Rhythm – play 3 times

Then after that there's a second solo where he just plays riff D throughout
pretty much of the solo. It's pretty easy to figure out what he's doing after
this spot, but I haven't heard the song in a while so I can't remember.
