(Chorus)

The Solo:

I don't know the origonal solo but I like to rock an improvised solo.
I'm not realy sure what scale I use to do that (because its in open G)
I just have an Idea of what notes to do. I like to pretend my guitars 
singing the lyrics in the verse mixed with a bit of the guitar part (played 
single string up an octave or two) Play the solo over the verse part (I don't know if
this is what kieth and Mick Taylor(former stones guitarist(late 60,s early 70's)) 
because I am tabbing from memory. I know it follows the same chords.
