CHORUS (repeated with A E chords into MAIN RIFF close) --------------------------------------------------------------------- (note: the easiest way to play the riff is to start with your first finger on the D string, 2nd fret. After the first two E notes and the note on the D string, move it to the A string, where it remains, until you hit the A chords. After the A chords, place your first three fingers on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th frets of the D string, and pull off one after each note...) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Pete Rasche prasche@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu
