Guitars 'double up'on this track. The tab pretty much covers 
Stuart Adamson's(Guitar 1) & Bruce Watson's(Guitar 2)parts - you'll have to choose 
which one you want to be.....unless of course you're a freak with 
two pairs of hands and a doubleneck guitar! The song is in C. 
 
h - hammer on 
p - pull off 
/ - slide up 
\ - slide down 
~ - vibrato 
PM- palm mute
