(Lindsey Buckingham's lead guitar is pretty much all backgroung from this
point on behind Stevie Nicks vocals until the end of the song. I tried to
line the music up with the vocals the best I could. Hope it makes sense.)

Listen to song while reading the tab to see where I went with this before
trying to play the tab. Like I said. I hope it makes sense.

From here on I just pick some notes from the Am pentatonic scale as it's quite inaudible for me to hear what he is actually playing.

This took me FOREVER to tab. The verse includes bass notes on the guitar throughout the entire song, but the chorus doesn't. If you are playing with only a guitar, I put together a second version of the chorus that includes a bass note. I'm also sorry if the layout is kind of confusing; I did my best given the changing structure of the song. During the choruses and outro remember to continue to play the rhythm guitar from the verses in the background. And most importantly, you MUST listen to the song first to understand the lead guitar riffs. I tried to include every minor detail I could so some notes may be hard to understand when reading the tab. I hope you all enjoy! :)- em92900
