Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb
Looked around for a decent tab of this and couldn't find one, so here's what I came up with.
Eddie changes things a little each time through so you'll have to listen to the
recording for the variations.
[light distortion............................] [heavy distortion from here on]

Play above twice. For outro to solo, change the last two chords (after the 5p0 thing) to this:
eb-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb--6-5--3-2--1-0----------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb--5-5--2-2--0-0----------------------------------------------------------------|
Db--5-5--2-2--0-0----------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb----------------0--------------------------------------------------------------|
Solo is not hard to find online.
