Online sources and sheet music offer differing information here.
The original is about twice as fast compared to the 90 bpm yes.
I have just edited my Guitar Pro file to 188 bpm and played it along with the original. After the intro and verse there was a tiny mismatch, the Guitar Pro file was pushing slightly ahead of the song - suggesting 188 bpm is a tiny bit too fast.
That said, this was recorded in 1977 … no click tracks. Maybe the played it as humans do and not as a metronome would.
So 188 bpm or thereabouts is the golden target if you want to match the original yes.
