The rhythm parts are the absolute best I could do, and I'm fairly proud of how the solos came out. It would be a waste of time to try to learn this song without the album because most of the parts are horribly syncopated, so do yourself a favor and go buy it. Plus, the record store's probably out of Hanson. I've given the rhythm figures according to each part of the song; don't get confused by the many "rhythm figure 1"s there are about. Enjoy.
