This was quite a tricky song to tab, especially the solo section. Enjoy.
Listen to the track to get the rhythm of the notes.
[Intro Part I (0:01 – 0:43)]
Play these three bars 3 times. The palm mutes are very short, they keep the
strumming rhythm going.

[Verse Part I (1:13 – 1:43) – ‘She said “Love is what you make it…”‘]
Guitar with (I think) A fair amount of reverb, a small bit of delay, and some
chorus flange. Again, listen to the track for the rhythm. Small bit of vibrato on
each note.
