B = bent note

* Both Guitar 1 and 2 are accoustic.
* The ending chord on both guitars is an open E (as in the 1st Interlude for
guitar 2 shown below)



Hmmmm... (4 measures of verse music during hmm)

(2nd Interlude)

(3 measures of verse music then open E ending chord)

It is difficult to tell whether 3 notes are being played or if only two notes.

This is the main riff, the one you hear...

*note* there are no variations before the second verse...

Listen to the CD for other variations...

----------------
Chorus- Guitar 1
----------------

The chorus is also very easy.... pick the strings pretty hard for this part
and listen to the CD if you can't get the rhythm...

(A)

e|0--0--0--0--0----0----0---|

\____________________________ chorus ends here
gone when...

Chorus- Guitar 2

This is played steadily and quickly behind the guitar 1 part.

-----------------------
1st Interlude- Guitar 1
-----------------------

E Guitar one plays the open E chord in the following manner:

(I included picking instructions for a general idea of how 
it goes, you don't have to be precise about it)

|0|  downstroke pick all strings
|0|  *lightly* upstroke pick strings
|1|  downstroke pick all strings
|2|  downstroke pick bottom 2 strings
|2|
|0| 
    
then play this:

/1-----/3--/2--/1-----/
