MAIN RIFF:
D |-----------------------------------|---------------------------|

The whole song primarely goes along those lines... When he comes to the refrain, it
switches to:
pm.......
|---------------|-------|----------------|-----------------------------------------|
|---------------|-------|----------------|------------------12(14)--12-------------|
|--2------------|---0---|---0---------0--|--2---------2-----------------11--9--11--|
|--2--------2---|---0---|---0---------0--|--2---------2----------------------------|
|--0--------2---|-------|----------------|--0---------0----------------------------|
|---------------|---3---|---3---------3--|-----------------------------------------|
I don`t want to change...
|-------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------3---|---3---------3----3--------------------------------------|
|--2------------------0---|---0---------0----0---12(14)ph-----12(14)ph-----12(14)ph-|
|--2-----------2------0---|---0---------0----0--------------------------------------|
|--0-----------2----------|--------------------------------0------------0-----------|
|---------------------3---|---3---------3----3--------------------------------------|
Then, right before the solo:
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------4-----2-----|
|--2---4---4---4-4-4-4---2---4---4-4---2---4---4-4-2---4-----2-----|
|--2---4---4---4-4-4-4---2---4---4-4---2---4---4-4-2---2-----0-----|
|--0---2---2---2-2-2-2---0---2---2-2---0---2---2-2-0---------------|
I haven`t got around to the solo, yet. Besides, it`s always better to stay along the
lines of the original version, but express yourself by incorporating some original
material in the solo (taping, etc).
