=========================================++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Well, I sat down last night and spent a good few hours with just me, my Washburn, a pad of paper and the CD player and transcribed this mother as best as I could. What follows is just the intro, about 11 seconds of the song. The rest is very similar so faking it with a little bit of improv should get you through the song. The basic chord progression is Em-B-Bm-A. The position for these chords are at the end of this message.

The entire song follows this chord progression (Em-B-Bm-A-Em) except for the tail end of the song where the lyrics are
"I don't wanna stay.." (repeated)
which is
__9___ __7___ __5___ __9___ __7___ __5___ __9___ __8___ __6___ __7___ __9___ __7___ __7___ __9___ __7___ __7___ __7___ __5___
Em B Bm A
The solo for this song is in D pentatonic in the 10th position. I was too damn lazy to figure it out AND write it down. Maybe later!
