  Here is my favorite BR song. You'll have to figure out for yourself how many
  times each part is played. Don't worry, it's simple. The other tab I've found
  for this song was horribly wrong!

TUNE GUITAR 1/2 STEP DOWN

NOTE: h = hammer-on

Billy the kid blazes his motorcycle down the neural impulse road and thrashes
madly, gears lock, guns fall from his side in the jolt, the chrome-plated 
Harley-Davidson rears on its hind legs. Oop! He sails from the sturdy bike,
hurled into inner space.
     People said he was such a nice young kid.
                 -Abby Hoffman (from The Best of Abbie Hoffman)
