Below is the opening riff that Mike plays.  This riff is used throughout 
the song without much variation.

This is the little rhythm riff that Stone plays.  Listen to this to get the 
groove that he is playing -- don't forget the muted rakes.

Stone and Mike basically play the these next two lines about the same. 
Although I have added more of what Mike plays into the tab.

 Glorified version of a pellet gun   Feels so  manly  when  armed 
  
                                                                                
This is a really weird switch in the song ("Always, keep it looooaaaded!!"). 
The chord pattern is C, C#, D# Sometimes it is hard to remember to go  
to this pattern.  If you listen to the live Atlanta show, Mike even  
forgets to hit the right chords!

This is a very simple variation to the first riff that Mike plays.  He 
basically plays the A note a few more times that normal and throws a simple 
5th fret bend.  For those of you that can't follow the notation, 5b p3 means 
to bend the 5th fret to 7th (whole step), drop the bend back down and  
pull off 
to the 3rd fret.

Here is the solo.  I am not even sure if it is worth transcribing solos.  I 
would like to hear some feedback from people.  Let me know if this even helps 
anyone to learn the solo.  I know that sometimes tab is really hard to  
follow. 
  
Anyway, tackle this a little bit at a time.  It really is a pretty easy solo 
to learn.  Just think of each part as a small riff.

   This measure might not be correct.         Play this twice.

    Play this a couple times.                     Play this twice.

   Get used to the bend/hold/release.
