Here's the YouTube video that Steve based this tab upon, I think.
This belongs in the Tablature section, though. Moved there.

GREAT and ACCURATE Tab,
BTW previous comments about Jerry's playing on these shows being "Synced" to a previously recored audio track are not correct. This is LIVE Playing at its best.

Glad you guys like the tab. I'm new at this and it took 2 days to learn how to write a tab and then watch the video over and over again probably 30 times (I never got bored with it). Ricky must have spent some time on it too because I sent it to him in a spreadsheet format. This is a great piece to learn on, with all the reverse slants.
