Shots Fired

Intro: 

eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
Bb|---3---------------------3-2h3p2p0--------3-2h3p2p0----------------------| 
Gb|-----0---0-----0-----0-------------3p0---------------3p0-----------------| 
Db|-------0-----0-----0-----------------------------------------------------| 
Ab|-2---------4-----1-------------------------------------------------------| 
Eb|-3---------------------3---------------3---------------------------------| 

Use your little finger to reach the 4 on A, so the clash rings out. 

The second time this is played through, this riff comes in: 

eb|--------------| 
Bb|--------------| 
Gb|--------------| 
Db|--------------| 
Ab|--------------| 
Eb|-3-1-3-3-1-1--| 
       PM -------| 

Palm mute at your discretion. I think it sounds most like the record how I've indicated, 
but it's your call. The main riff kicks in at this point, and after a few bars Slash 
changes to this: 

eb|--------------| 
Bb|--------------| 
Gb|-----5p3------| 
Db|-5-3-----5-3--| 
Ab|--------------| x6 
Eb|--------------| 

eb|--------------|-------------------------|-3-| 
Bb|--------------|-------------------------|-3-| 
Gb|--------------|-------------------------|-0-| 
Db|-5-3--5p3-----|-------------------------|-0-| 
Ab|----------5p3-|-5-4-3h4p3s1--3-4-3h4p3s1|---| 
Eb|--------------|-------------------------|---| 

Both guitars then briefly drop out, and the riff continues on the bass. You then get  
this from Slash: 

eb|------------3~-|------------3~-|-6~-------3~-|-----------------| 
Bb|-3~-5~-x-6~-3~-|-3~-5~-x-6~-3~-|-6~-3~-6~-3~-|-6~-3~-----------| 
Gb|-3~-5~-x-6~----|-3~-5~-x-6~----|-8~-3~-6~----|-7~-3~-----------| 
Db|---------------|---------------|-------------|-----------------| 
Ab|---------------|---------------|-------------|-------x-3b3.5---| 
Eb|---------------|---------------|-------------|-----------------| 

If you're on a Les Paul, back off some of the volume on your rhythm pickup and you 
should be able to get this section sounding pretty baddass. Change back to your original tone 
when you hit the C bend at the end of the section, which goes into the bridge: 

eb|--------------| 
Bb|--------------| 
Gb|--------------| 
Db|--------------| 
Ab|-5-3-5-5-3-3--| x3 
Eb|--------------| 

eb|--------------| 
Bb|--------------| 
Gb|--------------| 
Db|--------------| 
Ab|-5-3-5-5-3----| x1 
Eb|-----------1--| 


Chorus: 

eb|-----------------------------------------------------------| 
Bb|-----------------------------------------------------------| 
Gb|----33-3/--88-8/--55-5/------------------------------------| 
Db|-5/-33-3/--88-8/--55-5/---3-3-----3-----2-2-----2-2--------| 
Ab|-5/-11-1/--66-6/--33-3/---3-3-----3-----3-3-----3-3--------| 
Eb|-3/---------------------0-1-1-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------| 

eb|------------------------------------------------------------| 
Bb|------------------------------------------------------------| 
Gb|------------------------------------------------------------| 
Db|------------------------------------------------------------| 
Ab|-------------------------5-4-3h4p3s1--3-4-3h4p3s1-----------| 
Eb|-3-1-3-3-1-1-3-1-3-3-1-1------------------------------------| 

From here you're straight back into the riff, so play the riff/verse/bridge/chorus again. 

The chorus is slightly longer the second time round, and with a different pattern - 
listen to the track to work out the different rhythm, it's a very basic Dun-dun-Dun-dun rock 
rhythm. It also ends differently, like this: 

eb|---------------------------------| 
bb|---------------------------------| 
Gb|---------------------------------| 
Db|--3---3---3---3---2---2---2-3-x--| 
Ab|--3---3---3---3---3---3---3 3-x--| 
Eb|--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-1-x--| 

This then takes you into the pre-solo: 

eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
bb|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
Gb|-----------------------------------5-5-----5---5-----5-----5---5---| 
Db|--8---8-----8---8-----8-----8---8--5-5-----5---5-----5-----5---5---| 
Ab|--6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---| 
Eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 

eb|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
Bb|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
Gb|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
Db|-8-8-----8---7-7-----7-x-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------| 
Ab|-6-6-6-6-6-x-5-5-5-5-5-x-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3----------------| 
Eb|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
                          PM-----------------------------------------------| 

There are lots of numbers here, so reading the rhythm off the tab can be a bit 
confusing. Be diligent, the rhythm isn't complicated if you're reading clearly. 

Solo Rhythm: D5 F5 C5 D5 F5 C5 A#5 C5 D5 

You end the solo section with this: 

eb|-------------------------| 
Bb|-------------------------| 
Gb|-------------------------| 
Db|-------------------------| 
Ab|-5-4-3h4p3s1--3-4-3h4p3s1| 
Eb|-------------------------| 

And then go into the chorus, then into the riff. Over the riff you get this solo: 

eb|--------------------------------------------13s15----------------------| 
Bb|-15----14----11----8------15-14h15p14----------------------------------| 
Gb|-17b19-16b18-13b15-10b12--------------15s12----------------------------| 
Db|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
Ab|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
Eb|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| 

eb|-------18~-------------15~----------------------------------------| 
Bb|-15--------14----11--------8----/---------------------------------| 
Gb|-17b19-----16b18-13b15-----10b12/---------------------------0~----| 
Db|------------------------------------------------------------0~----| 
Ab|----------------------------------5-4-3h4p3s1--3-4-3h4p3s1-----5/-| 
Eb|------------------------------------------------------------3~-3/-|
