Tab
I have left this in Beginner status, but have included bends (-3") with this recognisable song. They give it atmosphere and it is useful practice for bending within a song performance. I have tried to introduce some timing devices also for performing, although you will surely know the rhythm.

Legend: " indicates a bend note as, -3",
        ~ extends the note as ~~~~, 4 beats time
        //: :// repeat as :// go back to //:

song style = mysteriously.
