"So there aint no need..."

0:49- Just start moving your slide over the 12th fret

0:56
E-/15-15-15------------------------------------------|
C-/15-15-15------------------------------------------|
G-/15-15-15---(I think you strum that fret 13 times)-|
C-/15-15-15------------------------------------------|
G-/15-15-15------------------------------------------|
C-/15-15-15------------------------------------------|

Now you just play the Verse Lick until the chorus (no fills)
Chorus(It would yake to long to write put how mant times to strum,
so just do it in time with the beat)

Now there are 2 guitar parts going here
Ones just John struming muted dringd to the beat,
and the other starts at the end of the solo-

E-0-------/3--0-----/10--0-----/10--0-------/15------------------------------------|
C-0-------/3--0-----/10--0-----/10--0-------/15------------------------------------|
G-0-------/3--0-----/10--0-----/10--0-------/15-(strum the 13th's abount 13 times)-|
C-0-------/3--0-----/10--0-----/10--0-------/15------------------------------------|
G-0-------/3--0-----/10--0-----/10--0-------/15------------------------------------|
C-0-------/3--0-----/10--0-----/10--0-------/15------------------------------------|

Now it just goes back to the Verse, and the to the chorus.
John does some fills at the end of each chorus lick

E-10-12-12--10-12-/15-----------------|
C-10-12-12--10-12-/15-----------------|
G-10-12-12--10-12-/15-----------------|
C-10-12-12--10-12-/15-----------------|
G-10-12-12--10-12-/15-----------------|
C-10-12-12--10-12-/15-----------------|

C-/12-/12-/12-/12-/12-|
G-/12-/12-/12-/12-/12-|
C-/12-/12-/12-/12-/12-|

Then on the 3rd chorus lick instead of the
2/32 thing, it's

E-/15-----------------------|
C-/15-----------------------|
G-/15-----------------------|
C-/15-----------------------|
G-/15-----------------------|
C-/15-----------------------|

Now just before the outro,
strum the 10th fret a little longer-
Outro
