Duke Nukem 3D Theme Song

This a great little song to learn, especially if you’re an action fan. I don’t know the EXACT timing of the song, but the notes are AT LEAST 99% correct! I understand that on the Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition cd, there is a remix of the theme with two solos, a guitar solo and a synthesizer solo. If anyone else can figure it out, please email me the tab! Thanx. Enjoy!
