Chords before and during solo:
G# C# C B A#
G# D# G# G#
F# C# F# F#
Then repeat verse 2 and chorus
Note: I imagine that frank black plays this song with his guitar tuned
down 1/2 step, but I hate re-tuning my guitar, so these chords
are in standard tuning. I play all the chords sorta like barre
chords.

i.e. G#466xxx, (xx1114@1) D#x688xx, (x43121@3) B (x2444x@1)x244xx etc...
Also, the lyrics may be off a little.

kind of a cool song, but he didn't include lyrics w/cassette.
he tunes down to Eb for the record, this version is fingered in
in E which is probably closer to what he fingers.
