D# G# C# F# A# D#

This song is very simple once you get the harmonics right (guitars do vary in where these are found)...but your guess is a good as mine when it comes to the lead...the only thing i can figure about the lead is that james has a harmonizer and whammy duo going on.  For those of you who don't know how to creat harmonics, lightly rest your finger on the string at the position indidcated by the tab and pluck that particular string(for practice use the 12th fret...it's the easiest by far to squeal harmonics out of)E-mail me if you don't think it's 99% perfect.
