I've seen one or two versions of this song on the net already, but none
of them seemed to be complete. Well this one isn't either (who am I to
break a trend?), but it does contain slightly more than most versions.
I don't think it's 100% correct (in fact I think it's downright dodgy),
so let me know if you have any additions or corrections.

This is the chorus riff; the last time you play this (the fourth time in
the second chorus), don't play the "scale" - hold the Gb for an extra
moment and then go on to Riff H.

This is played about four times towards the end of the solo-
It's difficult to hear this bit so I don't know which, if either, is
correct -let me know what you think.
