THEY NEED A MILLION - Scorpions

Editor Notes: The tempo changes a few times up until Verse 3, so listen to the
song to get a feel for the pacing.
In some verses/choruses/solos I've placed (a) reference(s) to
what's supposed to be played. You can find whatever I've
referenced near the bottom of this page. I did this to declutter
the tab and to show you what you actually have to learn, rather
than showing you the same sections multiple times.
Use the solo sections to figure out what notes Uli's playing, but
you'll have to listen to the solos if you want to figure out
exactly how he does the vibratos and bends. The same goes with
other lead parts.
