I couldn't find the solo for "if you don't, don't" anywhere, so I thought I would
tab it myself. Didn't take too long and it sounds right, so I decided to throw in
the rest of the song.
I based it on a live version but it's the same notes for the album version.
Listen for timing, some notes are played fast, others have pauses.
The guitar 1 in the bridge section mimics the hoo-oo-oooo-oo's from the vocals
and is played in live versions.
