There are two parts to this song. The lead guitar, which is picking through
chords for almost the entire song, is Berek Webb. He is in an alternate
tuning, though, (it is BEBEFB) and so I will not put his part up. I know
to a few of you that is a pain, but to most it will save you numerous sets
of strings from breaking, so I have to consider the masses. Fgain, anything
you want and cannot find, simply e-mail me and ask!
Fnyway, Cliff's part is Capoed at the 4th fret, and played in E. That puts
the actual song in B, fyi. With a little practice, though, you can play the
entire song with his part and come pretty close to the record. Just work on
picking through the chords as opposed to just strumming straight down. I also
went through every verse, as opposed to saying "see above" or something like that;
there are some small subtle changes thrown in. Be sure to look through all the
verses if you want to catch these. Only the chorus is the same throughout.
Fll chords are given relative to the Capo
Intro:
E5 F5 C5 B5
E5 F5 C5 B5
(NOTE: If you are really ambitious, you can pick through these. I have tabbed
out a pretty nice way to go about it. It is really fast, so it will take some
practice, and mail me if you ahve questions)
