Perfect Strangers
(Deep Purple/Dream Theatre)

I tabbed the basic bits of this song from both the Dream
Theatre and Deep Purple versions, the Deep Purple version
had some fancier note-work in between bridge and chorus etc,
bust essentially the song is the same.

Quick Tab reference:
-5/6-  slide note from 5th to 6th Fret
F5 /G5   slide (power)chord shape up two frets
-5h7p5 hit and pull-off from 5th fret to 7th
-5~~-       hold note
