Don't Look Back in Anger, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis.
Song can be found on the album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" and was
released as a single.
NOTE: During many of the guitar fills in this song (mostly during the ones
in the pre-chorus) there are 2 guitars playing 2 different fills. For most
of the fills I've written down the one that is more prevalent in the song
(i.e. you hear it louder than the other fill) but for a couple of them, I
tried to combine the two fills. In verse 2, both are written out, with
guitar 1 being the one playing the chords, guitar 2 playing one fill, and
guitar 3 playing another fill.
