I see a lot of tabs who are correct on the chords
but fail to tab the solo right.  Below is the
correct way to play the solo.  Enjoy!

(Verse One)

(Bass Guitar Only)
I bought Van Halen One

It was the best damn record I ever owned... T G and Y...1978

Two-hand tapping guitar technique

Really got me off Eruption yeah
                         
Ain't talkin bout love...im on fire


(Chorus)
                                       
Tomorrow may come, Tomorrow may never come  again
                                                 
Can't you hear Jamie cryin'?   Shes runnin' with the devil
                 
Oh Loooooord  Oh Looord

(Verse Two)

I bought Women and Children First, Fair Warning

and Van Halen Two, Dance The Night Away
 
1984 - My favorite record, yeah, I wore it down

Might as well Jump, might as well Jump...


(Chorus)
                                       
Tomorrow may come, Tomorrow may never come  again
                                                 
Can't you hear Jamie cryin'?  She's runnin' with the devil   <---(Fill-In)   e---15--------14---11----12-|
                                         B---------------------------------------------------------------|
                 
Oh Loooooord  Oh Looord


(Verse Three)
Is this what you wanted?  Sammy Hagar?

Sammy Hagar?  Is this what you wanted, man?

Dave lost his hairline, but you lost your cool, buddy!
              *
Can't drive 55? I'll never buy your lousy records again,

again  again  never again  never again  never again

never again  never again  never again  never again  never again

never again  never again  never again  never again  never again

NO NO NO!


(Chorus)
                                       
Tomorrow may come  Tomorrow may never come  again
                                                  
Can't you hear Jamie cryin'?  She's runnin with the devil
                 
Oh Loooooord  Oh Looord
