Here we are. I sincerely hope that even somebody findsthis simple transcription useful. Especially in the main riff I was having real difficulties, but mydear friend Antti "Donald" Kauppinen gave me some valuable clues(Thanks a Million!!)...There's something still indistinct but thoseparts 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 ofRitchie's fill & solo playing. The tab isn't perfect (stranger) but who cares?? Flames, correctionsand thanks more than welcome! If someone thinks this was a cool piece of work or something likethat PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Email or write a follow-up! This wasactually my first attempt on transcribing so you understand thatfeedback is important. Keep on rocking!-- Kari "Kartsa" Ahokas kahokas@plootu.helsinki.fi...hands of metal will bring you down!
