* - repeat about 4 times
x - right hand mute
h - hammer
p - pull off
: - let ring

The main part of this song is accurate but the solo I'm not so sure about.  
All the finger positions there are pretty accurate it is just the strumming
and the high fret notes which are difficult.  I suggest try work out the 
strumming by playing with the solo on CD using my tabbing for a bit of 
assistance.
 
Intro:  Play once with guitar only then 3 times with bass and drums

|-7--7--7-xxxx-3--3--5--5-5-|
|-5--5--5-xxxx-3--3--5--5-5-|
|------------- 1--1--3--3-3-|

Verse: Just Bass and Percussion until "When I was a..." then play 
       the intro again 4 times.

Chorus riff 1:  Play this 2 times...

|-7*-7*-10*-12*-8*-8*-7*-7--|
|-5*-5*-8*--10*-8*-8*-7*-7--|

Repeat all this again then go into solo.

Solo: Fairly Complicated. Tabbing a bit off here
