b by itself is the note, not the chord (i.e. 2nd fret on the A string)
Same goes for g (thickest E string, 3rd fret)

Note J) Hammer on from the open strings into the notes in the Em chord for
the fills in bridge2

Note K) Not too sure about that (D# / Em7) D thing in the last line of
bridge1. Im playing it like this :

(D# / Em7) D g [1a] or E7(II)[1b]

h is hammer on
p is pull-off
/ in the tab is a slide up
-(y)- notes in brackets are incidental/quiet

Transcription is all my own work. Copying stuff out of songbooks is
naughty.
Bad dog.


Thats it. Improvements welcome
