Shes Too Tough

I liked this song the first time I heard it in 1987 on Helix's Wild in the Streets album. When Def Leppard released it as a b-side on the Heaven single CD, I was amazed that it could actually sound better. The remixed version on the Retro-Active album is even better, yet. Both guitar parts are transcribed here, although I am not positive about the division of the parts between the two guitars.
