PERFORMANCE NOTES:

- If you play this song with 2 guitarists, have one play

the chords as shown above, and have the other person

do some picking around the chord shapes. This helps to

spice up the tune and add some layering. You can hear

an electric picking the chord shapes on the recording.

- During the guitar solo and the outro chorus, the rhythm

guitarist should add a few quick extra stabs while playing

the G-chord in the main riff (listen to the song to hear

exactly what this variation sounds like).

- The chords in brackets in verses 2 and 3 are more or less

what the bass plays, and they act as transitions between the

main chords. You can play these bracketed chords if you like,

but it can be a bit tricky to make this fast series of changes.
