KEY:
T = play with thumb
/ = slide up
= slide down
^ = bend ^q = quarter tone^h = half tone^F = full tone
if letter is above the fret #, note is bent THEN picked
h = hammer
p = pull-off
g = grace note - written above note to be 'graced'
~ = vibrato
Oh, and X's mean make that chopping noise that Angus Young makes in the song.
I shouldn't really need to tab that part out...
Opening riff (played behind verses as well):

First half (4 times?)

That's all I know from memory - I'm sorry I don't have the solos down, but
I'm just not a big fan. Anyway, let me know if you found the tab useful, and
don't say Harvard students don't do cool things on Saturday nights!!!! ;-)
