Some parts were old, some parts were new. The solo is not complete. Everything I have figured out is below. As for the rest, you are on your own. The key is D. Jimmy Pena - jimmy@walrus.com | - not a standard bar line; just used to separate music ~ - vibrato or held note x - percussive note with no pitch; muted note . - staccato; mute the note immediately after striking it h - hammer on p - pull off s - slide t - trill; play the note(s) indicated rapidly and repeatedly / - slide up from infinity \ - slide down into infinity <5> - natural harmonic (or pinch harmonic) 3(b5) - bend note up from 3rd to 5th fret pitch 3(b5r3) - bend note from 3rd to 5th fret pitch, then return to 3rd fret o \_ o / repeat sign (always look for these!) [x35553] - fret box; this is a C chord - this is the same as standard tablature, only turned on its side. Tilt your head clockwise to read.

I know why. This feeling inside me says it's time I was gone. Clear head, new life ahead. It's time I was king now, not just one more pawn. [Riff 2] x1 /w lyrics: Fly by night away from here, change my life again. [First half of Riff 2, then last half of Riff 1] x1 /w lyrics: Fly by night, goodbye my dear. My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend. [Riff 1] x1 [Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics Moon rise, thoughtful eyes. Staring back at me from the window beside. No fright, or hindsight. Leaving behind that empty feeling inside. [Riff 2] x1 /w lyrics: Fly by night away from here, change my life again. [First half of Riff 2, then last half of Riff 1] x1 /w lyrics: Fly by night, goodbye my dear. My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend. Woah!
