all the above is fairly self expanitory, but not completly accurate to timing with 
quavers etc. but sometimes that can confuse people so i chose not to include it.


on the electric studio recording the first bit of intro is on a hammond organ but after 
this as with both versions the structure is the same:

Chorus/Intro x 3
Verse
Chorus x 1
Solo
Verse
Chorus x 2
Outro
