Heyy Everyone this is my first tab ^_^ :3 Hope you like it!!!
Please comment and leave me feedback on how i did andd...ya enjoy!!!
Note: The occasional bits of lyrics are to help you know where you
are in the song and I think it should be pretty acurate, seeing as I spent
5 hours trying to tab it exactly right, (lol) but if anything seems wrong,
again please comment and tell me what :)
Key:
h = hammer on
p = pull-off
b = bend to indicated tone
r = return bend (AKA bend back to original note)
v = vibrato (optional)
/\ = slide up or down
[x] = mute the string
^ = sustain bent note
Alright so here it is hope you like it!

"...mad, bad and dangerous to know!"

Then its
D |-----0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0h2-------|
A |--0h2--2---------------------------|
E |--------------------------0--0-0---|
And its back to the riff in the beginning, only this time, you don't go on.
you just keep on playing till the end of the song, where theres a slight
change that goes like this.
G |----------------7-9|
D |-----0--0--0----7-9| I know that theres some soloing done in between but
A |--0h2--2--2--2--5-7| its really complicated and i haven't it out yet. However, if I
do, then
Ill be sure to post it
on here and ya. Hope you liked it!
