Play for the intro, throughout the verses and for the fantastic wah-wah solo. He plays
very loosely with lots of subtle variations, slight bends and vibrato. Have fun with it
play around (Having said that he always plays 3p0 near the end of the riff). Oh, and
away your pick and use your fingers like Dan does.

This is just a basic tab for the chorus - Again there is a fair bit of subtle variation
you don't need to be fussy - have fun with it.

Lyrics
Verse
Stack shot Billy in the back of the head
Stack made sure Billy Lyons was dead
.45 pistol in Stack's right hand
Sent him away to the promised land
Chorus
Stack shot Billy
.45
Stack shot Billy
Billy laid down and died
Verse
Stack Lee had himself an evil brain
Loved his gun and his sweet cocaine
Stack got quiet when the shadows fell
Knew soon enough that he'd burn in hell
Chorus
Stack shot Billy
.45
Stack shot Billy
Billy laid down and died
