before next part) solo 1 verse x6 (repeat first chord once before next part) solo 2 (this bit has some nice harmonica on now instead of the lead guitar, except a little at the end i think) outro (verse x4) (this fades out but I can hear it play four times properly, also there are some muted notes inbetween the chords here) LEAD PART: these bits are played in the gaps between the chords of the verse and solo parts, some gaps have no lead in them and this will be indicated intro: played after the intro chord before the verse begins E|---------------------------------------------------------|
