Erm.  It\'s a good song, thought I\'d tab it out. 
Let me know what you think. Listen for the timing/strumming 
 
UPDATES: 
 
OCT 02/04 - Okay here\'s the deal.  I burned the JEW cd, and listened to it 
on my stereo.  In doing so, I\'ve realized most of the solo is played using 
two strings.  So, I will keep the current solo up, but add the two sting way 
when I get it tabbed out, sorry about this everyone.  PS: If you didn\'t get 
the hint already, my computers speakers are garbage.
