Here's one of AC/DC's more underrated songs. First, a disclaimer: I am
pretty sure this is NOT the exact way AC/DC plays the song. When I see
this song played live, during certain parts of the song Angus and
Malcolm have their hands on different parts of the neck than I do.
I'm not exactly sure what they're doing, but this version I came up
with sounds just like the record to me.
 
Okay. First the intro. Over this, Angus plays a passage that is repeated
in the solo later on. Look for it further down:
 
-----------------3----------3----------3-----------3-----
-----------------3----------3----------3-----------3-----
-----------------0----------0----------0-----------0-----
----0-/3---------0----------0----------0-----------0-----
-1----------0-/3-----------------------------------------
---------1-----------------------------------------------
 
Then this riff is repeated four times:
 
-----------------------------
-8---8---------------8--8----
-7---7--5-5---5-5--5-7--7----
-5---5--3-2---2-3--2-5--5----
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
 
A slight variation on this riff serves as the main verse riff, and
repeats throughout the rest of the song:
 
-----------------------------
-8---8-----------------------
-7---7--5-5---5-5--5-5--5----
-5---5--3-2---2-3--2-3--2----
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
 
Now the prechorus. Repeat this twice:
 
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-5-5-5----5--5----5-5-5------
-5-5-5-5--5--5-5--5-5-5-5----
-------5-------5--------5----
-----------------------------
                                                                             
...then this once:
 
----------------------------------------------
-3-------------3------------------------------
-2-------------2------------------------------
-0-------------0---------------0-/3-----------
------3-2-3---------3-1-1----1---------0-/3---
------------------------------------1---------
          ^             ^ hit these two notes a few times lightly  
 
For the chorus, you play this riff four times. It was in the intro
earlier:
 
-----------------------------
-8---8---------------8--8----
-7---7--5-5---5-5--5-7--7----
-5---5--3-2---2-3--2-5--5----
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
 
 
Then this four times:
 
---------------
-8---8---------
-7---7---5-5---
-5---5---3-2---
---------------
---------------
 
Then repeat the first chorus riff 1 1/2 times (you'll know what I
mean by listening to the record) and close the chorus with this riff.
Pay attention, it is repeated again three times at the end of the song:
 
-6-3-------------
-6-3-3-6-5-------
-------5-5-3-----
-------------5---
-----------------
-----------------
 
Now for the solo. It starts with this passage, which Angus plays at
the beginning of the song. I believe Angus typically plucks the E
string with his finger and uses the pick for the G string:
 
-7-8-10-10-8-7-5-5-3-5-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-7-8-10-10-8-7-5-5-3-5-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
And the rest:
 
------------------------------------------------------------
---------------6b8-----------------------------------6b8----
-5--/4--5--/4-------5--/4--5--/4--5b7--5--/4--5--/4---------
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------8b10--8-----11b13-13p11--------
---------------6b8----------11--------------11-----
-5--/4--5--/4--------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------

-------10----------------------------------------------
-13b15----15r13-11----11b12r11------11b13---11-10-9----
-------------------12----------12----------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
 
----------------
-13-11-13b15----
----------------
----------------
----------------
----------------
 
That should be enough to get you through the whole thing. Enjoy!
