It's a shame this song was never released as a single. It certainly is a
ballbuster.
 
Here's the intro and main verse riff:
 
----------------------------
------------------2---------
-----4------4-4---2---4-----
-----4------4-4---2---4-----
-5p2-2--5p2-2-2-------2-----
--------------------3-------
     B      B B   A   B
 
The prechorus:
 
------------------------------------
-2-2---2----------------------------
-2-2---2----------------------------
-2-2---2---2-2---2---2-2-2-2-2-2-2--
-----------2-2-0-2---2-2-2-2-2-2-2--
-----3-----0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0--
 A A   A   E E   E   E E E E E E E 
 
The chorus riff:
 
----------------------------------------
----2-3--2-3--2--------2-3--2-3--2-3----
-4--2-2--2-0--2-----4--2-2--2-0--2-2----
-4--2-0--2-0--2-2---4--2-0--2-0--2-0----
-2----0---------2---2----0---------0----
-----------3----0-------------3---------
 B  A D  A G  A E   B  A D  A G  A D
 
I did not bother to tab out the solo, but Angus plays it in the key of B.
Behind the solo, Malcolm plays the main verse riff 3 1/2 times, then
halfway through the fourth repetition (about 2:18 into the track) he
plays
this once:
 
-----------------------
--------3-3-3--2-2-2---
-4-4-4--0-0-0--2-2-2---
-4-4-4--0-0-0--2-2-2---
-2-2-2-----------------
--------3-3-3----------
 
...and switches to this for the rest of the solo:
 
------------------------------------
----2-3--2-----------3-3-3--2-2-2---
-4--2-2--2----4-4-4--0-0-0--2-2-2---
-4--2-0--2----4-4-4--0-0-0--2-2-2---
-2----0-------2-2-2-----------------
---------------------3-3-3----------
 
Enjoy,
