"Dropped-D Tuning" (low to high DADGBE)

I have tried to TAB this piece as per the record, but at times there
are 2 guitars so I have only included the rhythm part in these cases.
I have worked out the solo (short, sweet and simple) so I'll put that
in too, but it's not perfect, but you should get the idea.

Abbreviations I have used:

h = hammer on		p = pull off
b = bend (up to the next note tabbed) eg 5b7 is full bend, finger on
	fret 5		r = release bend	
s = slide	pm = palm muting	/\/\ = vibrato

that is the basic part of the song, there are only 2 other bits, the
first comes after the second chorus.  I have not tried to indicate
timing as it is deliberately played to get out of time with the beat
so just leave it to the drummer! ;)

next comes the bridge, which is based around a three chord riff, the
basic chords are:

G2 (2 bars)	Em2 (2 bars)	Dsus4 (4 bars)

the following is an approximate TAB for this part, without the 
strumming pattern

   G2	G	G2   Em2 Em	Em2   D   Dsus4
e----------|-------|---------|------|---------|----------------------
B----------|-------|---------|------|---------|----------------------

A--5---5---|--5----|-2---2---|--2---|-5---5---|------3 bars----------
D--5---5---|--5----|-2---2---|--2---|-0---0---|----------------------

this whole figure goes four or five times, then goes back to the
chorus, coming in where the distortion bit starts.  It ends with
figure A and then just a basic D5 power chord.

Now for the solo.  This may be a bit off as I'm TABbing this from 
memory at work.  It starts from the second bar of the bridge.
   G2		   Em2			    D

B---------------------------------------7h8p7--s10------7----8-------
G----------------7----------------7--9-------------------------------
D----------7--9----9/\/\---------------------------------------------

This is probably pretty rough.

Let me know if any changes, I'd welcome comments as this is my first
time posting a TAB to olga
