Does anyone know how to play this song, with the licks, not just the chords?
I am trying to learn it and all the tabs I can find are just the chords. There are a couple of videos that I was trying to watch, but the changes go so fast that I can't keep up.
Is there any tab for the licks?
Any help would be appreciated.

This is the best series of books I'm aware of. I've found some of these to be note-for-note:

Thanks for the link. I was hoping for free!
I'm going to take a rummage through my old gutar mag tabs to see if I have one. I cut all the tabs I wanted to keep out of my old magazines, so maybe I have one in there. I'm surprised no one has tabbed the riffs before, its all just the chord progression.

Maybe if it is a tabbed version by joe blow guitarist. I just need to get a starting point on the riffs and I can take it from there.

I remember there was a sheet music site which had all tabbed sheets by 'Joe Blow'. One day I signed on to look something up and was met with a big banner message about how they were not allowed to post the content anymore after they received a legal letter. It was the best site, I was very bummed out. :cry:

I remembered the site, it was olga.net.

From Wikipedia:

On-line Guitar Archive

The On-line Guitar Archive (OLGA) was the first Internet library of guitar and bass tablature, or "tabs". Born from a collection of guitarist internet-forum archives, it was a useful resource for musicians of all genres for over a decade.

Current status

In 2006, the Archive removed all 34,000 tablatures on the site. A note posted on the site indicated that those running the site had received "a 'take down' letter from lawyers representing the National Music Publishers Association and the Music Publishers' Association", according to the linked letter on the front page. In the letter it is stated that OLGA "makes available tablature versions of copyrighted musical compositions owned or controlled by members of the NMPA and MPA"
Although originally a notice on the site suggested that the shutdown would only be temporary while OLGA attempted to resolve legal issues, the long time archivist for the site has indicated that the situation is permanent. On a personal web site he stated, "For twelve years I ran OLGA - the On-Line Guitar Archive. RIP."
As of late 2012 the site appears to have been taken offline.
