Here are the "Hendrix-Style" Octaves that Mike plays at the begining (and
end).  Get the feel of sliding the octaves...don't just play them like 
single notes.

This is a pretty lame part of the tab.  I figured that it would take tons 
of 
time to get all the natural harmonics and improvised notes that they play.
This just gives you 1 idea to base how to play the song during Eddie's
vocals.  Remember that it is an E to D pattern and improvise.  I have never
heard this song live (would like to), but I would bet Mike and Stone do a 
lot 
of their own stuff during this part.

These are the chords played during "Here it comes, There it goes, etc."
I give the octaves that Mike plays as a fill to this part.  If you can get
the octaves at the beginning of the song, you'll be able to figure out this
fill.
