For Christ's sake, why hasn't this song been tabbed yet?


Intro:                Verse:
-----                 -----
       A A#Bm               A A#Bm
G------------------   G--------------------
D------------------   D--------------------
A---7--------------   A---7----------------
E------5-6-7--7-7--   E-----5-6-7---7-7-7--

There are 2 different rhythms involved with the same basic riff. The
intro and verse being slightly different. It's not easy to show the
exact timing, but I had a shot. The easiest way is to listen to the
recording, and you'll hear the emphasis on different notes. Speaking
for myself, I hear the emphasis on the Bm in the intro, and during
the verse, I hear it on the lead-in note. I will add that each time
you play a verse, you play the intro rhythm once first before
settling in to the verse rhythm. Confusing, but there you go. :)

I don't think the solo bit is entirely correct, but it's close.


End the song on G.
