There are several versions of this song out there, mainly the 1968 original, from the 
"WOW" sessions and then the 1969 version as released on "Moby Grape '69". This tab is 
taken from the '69 album version.

If any of the licks sound wrong, let me know cagsic@yahoo.com
And you shuld be able to figure them out, because the song is in the key of C and most 
of the lead playing is C pentatonic.
