notation I have only written out the top part. The lower harmony notes are a major third lower, as far as I can tell. Also, the chords that accompany the solo are F-A-Bb-C in succession.] |------------|-----------|----------------| |-10---10-10-|-11--11-11-|-13-11-10--(4x)-| |------------|-----------|----------------| |------------|-----------|----------------| |------------|-----------|----------------| |------------|-----------|----------------| |---------------------| |-11p10--13p10-(8x)---| |---------------------| |---------------------| |---------------------| |---------------------| |------------------------------------|-------------------------| |-13b15(hold)15-15r13-10-------------|-------------------------| |-------------------------12b14r12---|-10-12-------------------| |------------------------------------|-------10-10-------10----| |------------------------------------|-------------10h12-------| |------------------------------------|-------------------------| |------------------------|------------------| |------------------------|------------------| |------------------------|-10-10-10-12p10-9-| |-------10---12-10-12----|------------------| |-11h12------------------|------------------| |------------------------|------------------| |--------------------|--------------------------13--| |--------------------|-15b17r15-13-15-13--13-15-----| |-15b17r15-14-15-14--|------------------------------| |--------------------|------------------------------| |--------------------|------------------------------| |--------------------|------------------------------| |-15b17--15-13-----|-------------------|----------------------| |--------------15--|-------13-13-13-15-|-13-15-13-15-13-13-13-| |------------------|-12-14-------------|----------------------| |------------------|-------------------|----------------------| |------------------|-------------------|----------------------| |------------------|-------------------|----------------------| C|-15p13----------------------13-13-13-13-13-13-| (x32010@1)|-------15p13--(play 14x)----13-13-13-13-13-13-| |----------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| Bb (x1333x@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) DmLate (xx0231@1)at night through the candlelight, I told you it wasn't just for kicks, F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) Bb (x1333x@1) Bb (x1333x@1) You said, "what?" and we nestled down into your mother hips (cool electric piano riff) Then finish it up on an F Chord **** Chord Shapes: F [133211] C [032010] [335553] Dm [557765] Bb [113331] [688766] A [577655] [002220] Questions/comments/corrections?
