	This is the intro, taking you up to the chorus. ("Good Times, Bad   
Times...")  There are actually two guitars here, but I've tried to simplify   
things as much as possible for one.  Also, watch for minor changes in the   
fingering, as there are changes not only between the hammers-on and slides of   
the two guitar parts, but between each time the bit is repeated.  My symbols   
above the TAB, "{:  :}x mean to repeat everything betweeen the brackets and   
colons, and do it the number of times followed by "x", in this case five times.

	Here's the chorus, in which I'll TAB out the two guitar parts   
separately, as there is quite a difference:

    for "rest")

	At this point "Sixteen I fell in love..." both guitars play the same   
part, which is: 
    {:F#5       E5 F#5   E5 F#5  F#5       E5 F#5  E5 F#5:}x3

	Watch for changes in which notes are struck and where rests are taken   
each time you repeat. 
	Now the chorus comes again, but this time it's in B, use chord changes   
between B (x2444x), Esus4 (00222x), and E (02210x).  At "when my woman left   
home..."  go to a C# (x4666x) on "woman", to a B (799877) to an F#   
(x9.11.11.11x).  Hopefully, you get the picture.  I could TAB it out, but it's   
not that complex, and I'm feeling lazy.

	The letters following the numbers refer to bends, b for a whole step, h   
for a half step, q for a quarter bend.  In some cases there are combinations,   
"bb" means two full steps, while "bh" would mean to bend the note one and a   
half steps.  You probably can also tell that guitar II has it's own variation   
through much of the solo, which I haven't included.  I hope this can do some   
good, as I am sure there are mistakes in my transcription, and it may be   
difficult to interpret overall.
