Metal Mickey Tabs

(ver. 1)
Suede

 
 Metal Mickey is the first single released in the US.  There's a lot of
 guitar lines and doodles in this song, and unfortunately I really wasn't
 able to pick most of them out of the mix.  So call this a rough outline, if
 you will.  The original key is Ab, so tune each string down a half step if
 you want to play along with the CD. 
 Corrections/improvements/additions/comments are most definitely welcome.
 
 Enjoy,
 
 Bob
