This is Freebird.  It is such a cool song.  This has all the parts, except the solo
 for the second guitar (there are 2 guitars playing it and I only tabbed the main
 one).  This is the version that is 9 minutes and something seconds long.  I have
 tabbed the ENTIRE solo also.  I put the names of the rhythm guitar chords above the
 measures of the lead guitar part.  Okay here it is.

That last 12 is the beginning to the next verse.  Now I dont think Ill tab the
 rest of the verses and chorus and stuff.  Its all pretty much just like what Ive
 already tabbed.  Just use your common sense to figure it all out.  Now Ill just
 tab the solo and stuff.  On the rhythm part, you need to strum more than I've
 shown.  Remember, Im not going to tab but only one guitar part for the solo.  So
 die.

 Rhythm Guitar Part:

Repeat that 12 times and on the 13th time, play this:

E---------------------------------------------------------------|

G---------------------------------------------9--10-11-12-------|
D---5--5--5--5--8--8--8--8--10-10-10-10-10----9--10-11-12-------|            x 4

E---3--3--3--3--6--6--6--6---8--8--8--8--8----------------------|

After you play that 4 times, strum each chord twice and wait 2 beats.  Just listen
 to it.  Goodness gracious.  Ok here comes the solo!  BAH! ( No measures included)

Bend that last note slowly.  Now comes the part where the other instruments play two
 quarter notes at the beginning of each measure and thats it.  Kind of hard to
 explain, but if you would just freakin listen to it, you could figure it out!  Gosh!

Thats most of the whole thing.  I would tab the part where it fades out but I am 
too sick of this stupid song now.  All I have to say now is that you better rate 
this because I spent too much time on this for you not too.  Diein butt bootleg 
greaseball heap pile I died what the heck.
