Helter skelter Yeah
So much for verses and choruses. The rest are pretty much the same,
except that the rest of the verses hit the G chord a little sooner
(at the beginning of the third line of the verse).
Here's the guitar solo in the middle:
E A E
-|----------------------7--7--15b(17)---15b(17)--b(17)15-------------
-|----------------------0--0-----------------------------------------
-|----------------------9--9-----------------------------------------
-|-------------------------------------------------------------------
-|-------------------------------------------------------------------
-|-------------------------------------------------------------------
'Cos here she comes
A E

-|--b(17)15b(17)15---------------13b(144)------------------b(17)15-----------
-|------------------b(14)12----------------b(14)12b(14)12-----------12-------
-|---------------------------14-----------------------------------------14~--
-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, there's a neat riff in one of the last verses. I think it
comes right after "will you won't you want me to make you" or something
like that. This is a cool riff with that looonnnng slide.

As the song fades into the first ending, there are some nice bend releases,
while the lyrics repeat "coming down fast":
-|--b(17)15-------------------------------------------------------------
-|-----------b(17)15----------------------------------------------------
-|--------------------b(16)14-------------------------------------------
-|-----------------------------b(14)12----------------------------------
-|---------------------------------------b(14)12------------------------
-|----------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, there's a whole lot of Hendrix-like guitar noise.
