As usual, I'm only indicating the fingering for  this  song.  Don't  take the 
|'s as a symbology for any kind of timing. 
 
There may be details missing, I never pay attention to them. I also don't know 
how many times to play each part (I ain't got the CD any more). Listening to 
the song is enough to figure this out. 
 
INTRO 
    C5 B5                      C5 B5 
e|--------------------------|------------------------------------------| 
B|--------------------------|------------------------------------------| 
G|--5--4--------------------|--5--9------------------------------------| 
D|--5--4--------------------|--5--9------------------------------------| 
A|--3--2--------------------|--3--7------------------------------------| 
E|---------5--3--5--3--5-0--|--------5--3--5--3--5-0-------------------| 
 
During the verses play the intro pattern like this, muffling the strings 
a little. 
 
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|--3-3-3-3--2-2-2-2---------------------------------------------------| 
E|--------------------5-3-5-3-5-0--------------------------------------| 
 
 
 
 
Between each verse comes the chorus  
 
Chorus: 
 
    I have the strength to .... 
              C5              A5             C5             G5 
e|--------------------|-------------|-------------------|--------------|

    I have the strength to .... 
              C5              A5           G5            F5 
e|--------------------|-------------|--------------|-------------------|

Yeah, there's that little solo. For that, the rythm plays the intro while 
the solo goes like this (more or less). In this tab note that: 
/  means slide upward 
B  means a full bend 
 
e|----------------|-----------------|--------------------|------------------| 
B|----------------|-----------------|--------------------|------------------| 
G|----------------|-----------------|--------------------|------------------| 
D|----------------|-----------------|--------------------|--5/7-7-5-7-7-----| 
A|--3-3-3--2-2-2--|-----------------|--3--3-3--3/5--5-5--|--------------7-5-| 
E|----------------|--5--3-5--3-5-0--|--------------------|------------------| 
 
 
e|----------------|-----------------|--------------------|------------------| 
B|----------------|-----------------|--------------------|------------------| 
G|----------------|-----------------|--7B--7B--7B----5---|--5-5-------------| 
D|----------------|--7-7-5-7-5------|-------------5----7-|-------5--7-------| 
A|--3-3-3--2-2-2--|------------7-5--|--------------------|------------------| 
E|----------------|-----------------|--------------------|------------------| 
 
Then back to verse 
 
The song ends with that intro. In the very end (last bar) instead of playing 
the single note pattern, it goes like 
    C5  A5   A A  G  A 
e|----------------------| 
B|----------------------| 
G|--5---2---------------| 
D|--5---2---------------| 
A|--3---0----7-7--5--5--| 
E|-----------5-5--3--5--| 
----------------------------------------- 
I accept anything (suggestions, comments, money, etc.) but no flame.
