The "A riff" is about the same except it uses an A intead of an E. e-0---0----------------0-- B-2---2----------------2-- G-2---2----------------2-- D-2---2----------------2-- A-0---0----------------0-- E-X---X---3---5---3----X-- The chord progression during the organ solos sounds like: EA EB E (022100@1)Here are the lyrics with the chords: (N.C. means "No Chord") N.C.
