(I think the most convenient way to get from C to G
 in this riff is to use you ring finger to get to
 the 12th fret of the D string.)

Verse 2

Solo/Break

Okay, I didn't want to put this here since
Tom plays it differently all the time, but
this is the recorded version and the tab
would be incomplete without it. Anyway,
