Guitar Solo: (Ross is playing the bridge 4 times)

Since it's a live version, and we still don't know how the real thing will be,
I won't tab this solo, and it's pretty hard to hear too...
But the solo is in E minor, so you can improvise for now LOL...


Bridge (return): Ross plays the bridge 2 times while Stockdale play this:


|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------13--13--13--13--13--12-12--12--12--|
|-------11h12--12--12--12--11-11--11--11-------------------------------------|

//means a big slide...LOL


Repeat Chorus (ONLY 2 TIMES)

Then finish with an E5 chord right after the D5 chord in the chorus :
