Just a little guide to help you in the reading of this transcription. 
The 
cords F+, and F#+ are played by playing power cords in the 8th and 9th 
positions respectively.  The reason for the + sign is to distinguish
those 
cords from F# that is played in the 2nd position during the Bridge and
the 
Chorus.   The song is fun to play, and for ultimate realism, turn the
treble 
and middle way up on your amp to produce a great fuzzy sound.
