This is what comes to mind, I know there is more to the song (like the   Outro) but I can't recall what it sounds like..here are some playing    notes...   On the main riff you can substiture the Ab chord for a artificial    Harmonic on the same Ab note, and then a subsequent bend and release   of that note.  (Or throw in your own fills, this is a great tune to    walk all over)   On the bridge it is important to hold the notes for the required ammount   of time, I can't tell you what it is using tab.  Also on the A modular   Chord, you should use your Tremelo bar to add some spice, or do it by   hand.  You will notice on the recording that the drummer and the Basist   are really going to town during the bridge...so jump in and join them!     This is a great way to work on your improvisation skills...   In the First Interlude the key to play fast, but keep your notes muffeled   and clean, it is not as hard as it may look to you.  On older vesions of   this song the hammer on pull off combination going into the A chord will   not exist, so throw those out if you want sound like them, or leave them   in if you want to make it sound better.  For the life of me I can't    remember if that is the way Jake E. Lee played it on "Speak of the Devil",   or if I added it, so again have fun with it. :D   On the 2nd Interlude, just play it note for note, that is all the advice   i can give, with practice you will get it, after all you know what the    notes are. :D   A final note would have to be my same old preach on tabbing solo's, I    won't do it, becuase it will limit you more than anything else, figure it   out yourself, or play your own over theres, you will become much better   that way, and will learn to create your own style, instead of mimicing    someone elses.  Remember the goal of all this is to have fun (I hope),    so do exactly that, Have fun. :D   Daniel Send all comments or critisisms via Internet to me at *Take me through the centuries to supersonic years 
Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears 
All I have to give you is a love that never dies 
The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes 

Yeah 

Mother mooch is calling me back to her silver womb 
Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb 
Seventh night the unicorn is waiting in the skies 
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies 

Yeah 

Take my hand, my child of love come step inside my tears 
Swim the magic ocean I've been crying all these years 
When our love will ride away into eternal skies 
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies 

Yeah 

Oh my child of love's creation, come and step inside my dreams 
In your eyes I see no sadness, you are all that loving means 
Take my hand and we'll go riding through the sunshine from above 
We'll find happiness together in the summer skies of love
