Have most of this figured out (I think)... pls forgive me for not knowing how to put this in tab form... this is me talking through it...

Lightning Bolt -

Starts with open A string .... palm mute

Stone plays the part the follows the vocals on the open A string along with the D string fretted at the 12th fret area (11th, 12th, 14th and 16th fret) ... play around to figure it out...

At the end of this part he plays open A and D string fretted at 12th and then 11th fret and then he plays the open A string and the D string freted at the 7th fret the it ends with the D & G string fretted at the 4th fret...

The it starts back again..

Mike comes in at "She comes after me..." with an A chord in 1st position with the pinky fretting the B and E string at the 5th fret to get that "zing" sound... then a D chord at 1st position with the pinky fretting the E string at the 5th fret for the "zing"...

repeat A to D chords and after a few times back and forth the D chord is followed by
For the chorus its A to C, A to D to C, A to D to C (then a quick G-C-G), A to D to C

For the solo the backing chords are A - C - D - C (w/G-C-G fill)

Bridge is a descending series of chords where each note is picked...
A chord at 5th Fret (D string fretted at 5th, G string fretted at 4th, B string fretted at 3rd),
G chord (D string fretted at 3rd, G string fretted at 2nd, B string fretted at 1st),
F# chord? (D string fretted at 4th fret, G string fretted at 2nd fret, B string fretted at 3rd fret)
and some kind of F sus chord (D string fretted at 3rd, G string fretted at 2nd, B string fretted at 3rd fret and then an open E string picked)

After the bridge it goes from an open E chord to E chord with G string added at 2nd fret to E chord with G string added at 4th fret to E chord with B string added at 3rd fret...

Back to the chorus A to C, A to D to C, A to D to C (then a quick G-C-G), A to D to C (there is the E string fretted at the 2nd fret to make that contrasting note in there... listen for it..

Then back to Stones part from the beginning and then it ends going A to D with the "zing" part added...
