Chorus 3 (with the following repeat endings) 2nd ending - 2nd ending - 1st ending - 2nd ending Intro B Intro A (with a big ol? D major chord underneath) The outro solo is based on a D Mixolydian (G major) scale played entirely on the G-string. There are lots of similar lead guitar parts throughout the song, but they?re more trouble than they?re worth for me to tab. === The Simplified Version === This version uses all open chords. Of course, it will sound at a different pitch than on the recording, but if you want to play along, capo at 7th fret. G G/B Am C D D/F# Em B7 e|-3-|-3-|-0-|-0-|-2-|---|-0-|-2-| B|-0-|-3-|-1-|-1-|-3-|-3-|-0-|-0-| G|-0-|-0-|-2-|-0-|-2-|-2-|-0-|-2-| D|-0-|-0-|-2-|-2-|-0-|-0-|-2-|-1-| A|-2-|-2-|-0-|-3-|---|-0-|-2-|-2-| E|-3-|---|---|---|---|-2-|-0-|---| If the G/B and D/F# chords are too difficult, simply substitute regular G and D chords. Intro B - Rhythm: ||: G / Am / | G/B / C / :|| The Am and C chords are played on the second half of beat 2; count ?one and two?then play those chords.
