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)--155b(17)--b(17)15------------- -|----------------------0--0----------------------------------------- -|----------------------9--9----------------------------------------- -|------------------------------------------------------------------- -|------------------------------------------------------------------- -|------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Cos here she comes A E -|--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -|--b(17)15b(17)15---------------13b(14)-------------------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. -|--12--15b(17)--b(17)15--12------12----------------------------------------- -|----------------------------15------15\\10-----10b(12)--b(12)10--8--------- -|--------------------------------------------9-----------------------7--9--- -|--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -|--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -|--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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---------------------------------- -|--------------------------------------bb(14)12------------------------ -|----------------------------------------------------------------------
