this isn't a complete tab. it's more like a rough estimation of the chords and
solo, which i couldn't tab entirely. i just found little bits of the solo and
familiar enough chords so, if you have any corrections, they're very welcome.
 
the tab is played with a capo on the 2nd fret, or you could not bother and just
play open. it's not really that important considering the solo is the most
important part of the song and i don't think J used a capo for it. if you capo
you're gonna have to change keys from verse to solo to verse so it's really
kinda pedantic to insist on the capo, suit yourself i don't know.

the part that keeps being repeated bar after bar is probably something like
this:
 
e|----------------|
B|----------12----|
G|-11h12/14-------|
D|----------------|

thats as much as i could pick up. it's hard to tab when there's no videos of
live performances online. heh. any corrections are very welcome.
