thanks, blacksides. I appreciate knowing the key cause its so hard to just memorize a tab - especially anything that Slash ever plays.

ive been waiting so long for someone to tab this !!!!!! u rock!

the key is E minor for anyone wondering... notes are E F# G A B C D but slash is mostly using the pentatonic minor scale which is E G A B D
