Okay y'all...  This here's a beautiful old-school BNL tune, and I'm sick of checking out bum tabs
for it.  So here it is, straight up.  It's not all that easy, but just run through the main riff
a million times, and you'll get it.  Game on.
 
Feel free to send me corrections or questions, and good luck!  PEACE!!!
