Piano Break

until i get more, you should get the idea of how the song is, after it says "Back from

the land of california to my sweet home chicago" ther is a little change of pace and

then it goes back to a verse thing,then a piano break, and then the solo by Doyle, but

they layout goes like this

Intro Riff

Riff A5

Riff E5

Riff A5 verse
