Somebody To Love

I think the lick that all of these tabs seem to be missing is the transition after the 
B progression where the band plays A, and E quickly before going back to F#m and B

Standard Tuning, (EADGBe)


Intro: F#m, B, A, E

(F#m, F#m, B, B, A, E)


           F#m         B  A E F#m    
   A E
When the truth is found   to be lies
     F#m        B   A E  F#m     B
And all the joy   within you dies

Chorus:
           A       E       F#m
Don't you want somebody to love
B          A       E       F#m
Don't you need somebody to love
B            A        E       F#m
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
F#m        E        B       F#m
You better find somebody to love

Guitar Solo:

 Note:(This is another tabber's interpretation of the solo, but it's supposed to work)
e|----------------------------------------------5-2|
B|---------------------------------2----2---2-5----|
G|---------2-4-4b(6)-4-2-------------4----4--------|
D|-----2-4---------------4-----2h4-----------------|
A|---4---------------------2h4---------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------|

            F#m         B  A E     F#m   
    A E
When the garden flowers,  they are all dead, yes and
F#m              B    A E     F#m        B
Your mind, your mind is so full of red

(Chorus)

(mute strings for this line)
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
         F#m             B
Yeah but in your head, baby
      A         E          F#m   B
I'm afraid you don't know where it is

(Chorus)

F#m               B  A E        F#m         
      B     A E
Tears are running, they're all running down your breast
     F#m          B       A E           F#m 
      B
And your friends, baby, they treat you like a guest

(Chorus)
