 Ok, well the beginning riff and rythm of Aqalung is fairly easy to
figure out, and the acoustic part in the middle isn't really hard
either, but the solo is a bit difficult, I got the first few bars down
to what I think is right, but I'm going to post all of what I know,
and since just about every guitarist in the world knows this song, I
would appreciate it if you would post your versions of parts to the
song if they are different than the ones here, especially the solo.
So, this isn't really a request for the song I just want to know how
other people play it.

Opening riff:
   "Sitting on the park bench..."
e:-
B:-
G:-
D:-
A:--5--------3--4~--3--------
E:-----3--6------------------

Verse rythm section: (play 3 string power chords)

"Eyeing little girls with bad intent..."
Db Db Db Eb Eb Eb F F F Eb F Eb F Gb Db

"Hey, Aqalung"
Eb Eb Eb Db Gb Gb E B D

I'm pretty sure everyone can do without tab here

Acoustic Part (Slow):

"Sun streaking cold, an old man..."
Gm Gm   F F F F  C C   Cm Cm   Gm Gm   F F F F

Here occasionally hammer the 2nd and 3rd frets on the G string 
while playing the F chords.

Acoustic Part (Faster):

"I still remember..."
Gm     F F F    F    Gm Gm Gm  

"Taking time the only time he knows..."
Gm Gm  F F F F   Cm Cm Gm Gm  F F F F

And here is 1st part of the solo:

e:-------------------------------------------------------
B:-------------------------------------------------------
G:------10/12--14~----10\9-------------------------------
D:--10----------------------10------------------3-5--5/7-
A:------------------------------12\3--3----3h5-----------
E:-------------------------------------------------------

e:------------------------
B:------------------------   <--- Real evil sounding
G:----------------2-------
D:-------------2------5~--
A:---2---2h4--------------
E:------------------------

 Well that's all I can figure out, it does two more little riffs then
gets extremely fast. Once, again please post your suggestions or
comments about this.
