then mister you`re a better man than I

and everybody knows it`s wrong
well we could tell `em no, we could let it go
but I would rather be hangin` on!

Livin` On The Edge, yeah, yeah...
I didn`t include the guitar solo because all the little nuances (bend here,
use slide here, bend-and-release here, etc.) make it a bitch to get into
ASCII notation. It`s fairly simple to play if you can get the hang of
using a slide on and off (easier said than done!). I`m not sure if my
"b" and "r" notation is standard, so if you don`t understand, feel
free to drop me a line and I will clarify myself.
