So the song goes like this:

(Rhy. Fig. 1) x 2

(Chorus w/Rhy. Fig. 1) x 2
Take me down to the paradise city...

(Rhy. Fig. 2) x 2

[(Riff B then Riff B-1) w/Rhy. Fig. 2]
[(Riff B then Riff B-2) w/Rhy. Fig. 2]

(Riff C)

(Verse 1 w/Rhy. Fig. 3)
Just an urchin livin' under ...

(Riff C)

(Verse 2 w/Rhy. Fig. 3)

(Chorus w/Rhy. Fig. 1) x 2

So far a - way.

After which slide each note on the G string (3rd from the bottom)
down two frets (i.e. 10--8h9----8h9) for a while and then move it
back up two frets and so on.

Notation:
h = hammer on
p = pull-off
fb = full bend
fbr = full bend and release
hb = half bend
P.M. = palm mute
~ = vibrato
% = repeat previous

Song: Paradise city (ending solo)

h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string up
r - release bend
/ - Slides
~ - Vibrato
t - right hand tap
x - play 'note' with heavy damping

In some places, the solo melts in the background and you can't really hear
it distinctively. For this reason, there are parts where the tabbing is just
a guess really.
