This is a brilliant cover version of Shadow Of Your Love that contains a great tempo and atmosphere.
Intro:
The whole riff is mainly made up of 2 barre chords, A7 and B7.. Just sliding in betwen them gives you the
main riff.
E:------5-/-7--7-7--7-7-------5-/-7--7-7--7-7------5-/-7--5-/-7---5-/-7--7-7--7-7---------------------------------------
B:------5-/-7--7-7--7-7-------5-/-7--7-7--7-7------5-/-7--5-/-7---5-/-7--7-7--7-7---------------------------------------
G:------5-/-7--7-7--7-7-------5-/-7--7-7--7-7------5-/-7--5-/-7---5-/-7--7-7--7-7---------------------------------------
D:------7-/-9--9-9--9-9-------7-/-9--9-9--9-9------7-/-9--7-/-9---7-/-9--9-9--9-9---------------------------------------
B:------7-/-9--9-9--9-9-------7-/-9--9-9--9-9------7-/-9--7-/-9---7-/-9--9-9--9-9---------------------------------------
E:------5-/-7--7-7--7-7-------5-/-7--7-7--7-7------5-/-7--5-/-7---5-/-7--7-7--7-7---------------------------------------
Play this twice:
Then comes a part that sound like it's going down the fretboard before the song kicks in.
E:------7------5-----2--1--------1-1-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B:------7------5-----2--1--------1-1-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G:------7------5-----2--1--------1-1-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D:------9------7-----4--3--2-2---3-3-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:------9------7-----4--3--2-2---3-3-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:------7------5-----2--1--0-0---1-3-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then play the intro twice through again.
The little fiddly that's played as a little divider is played like this...
E:-----7---------7---------5--------------------------
B:-----7---9-7-----7-------5--------------------------
G:-----9-------------------7-----9-7--9/11-9----------
D:-----9-------------------7--------------------------
A:-----7-------------------5--------------------------
E:-----7-------------------5--------------------------
Then it's straight back into the main riff, only play it once this time.
Then:
Note: There is a lot of muting during this part.
E:------1-xxxxxxxx---3-xxxxx---5-----------------
B:------1-xxxxxxxx---3-xxxxx---5-----------------
G:------1-xxxxxxxx---3-xxxxx---5------L-e-t------
D:------3-xxxxxxxx---5-xxxxx---7-----R-i-n-g-----
A:------3-xxxxxxxx---5-xxxxx---7-----------------
E:------1-xxxxxxxx---3-xxxxx---5-----------------
Then a little feedback and bend on the top E string at the 16th fret.
Verse:
This is quite random and it sounds as if Slash and Izzy do there own litle thing during this, again using A7 and B7.
What i worked out from hearing it is this:
E:------7-------------------------x-x--5-------------x-x--7-------------------7------------------------------------------------
B:------7-------------------------x-x--5-------------x-x--7--------------9-7----7----------------------------------------------
G:------7------L-e-t--R-i-n-g-----x-x--5---R-i-n-g---x-x--7-----------------------------9-7---9/11-9----------------------------
D:------9-------------------------x-x--7-------------x-x--9--------------------------------------------------------------------
A:------9-------------------------x-x--7-------------x-x--9--------------------------------------------------------------------
E:------7-------------------------x-x--5-------------x-x--7--------------------------------------------------------------------
E:------5-/-7--7-7--7-7-------5-/-7--7-7--7-7------5-/-7--5-/-7---5-/-7--7-7--7-7---------------------------------------
B:------5-/-7--7-7--7-7-------5-/-7--7-7--7-7------5-/-7--5-/-7---5-/-7--7-7--7-7---------------------------------------
G:------5-/-7--7-7--7-7-------5-/-7--7-7--7-7------5-/-7--5-/-7---5-/-7--7-7--7-7---------------------------------------

G:------1-xxxxxxxx---3-xxxxx---5-----------------
D:------3-xxxxxxxx---5-xxxxx---7-----------------
A:------3-xxxxxxxx---5-xxxxx---7-----------------
E:------1-xxxxxxxx---3-xxxxx---5-----------------
Chorus:
Is just the main riff played twice through...
E:------5-/-7--7-7--7-7-------5-/-7--7-7--7-7------5-/-7--5-/-7---5-/-7--7-7--7-7---------------------------------------
B:------5-/-7--7-7--7-7-------5-/-7--7-7--7-7------5-/-7--5-/-7---5-/-7--7-7--7-7---------------------------------------
G:------5-/-7--7-7--7-7-------5-/-7--7-7--7-7------5-/-7--5-/-7---5-/-7--7-7--7-7---------------------------------------
D:------7-/-9--9-9--9-9-------7-/-9--9-9--9-9------7-/-9--7-/-9---7-/-9--9-9--9-9---------------------------------------
B:------7-/-9--9-9--9-9-------7-/-9--9-9--9-9------7-/-9--7-/-9---7-/-9--9-9--9-9---------------------------------------
E:------5-/-7--7-7--7-7-------5-/-7--7-7--7-7------5-/-7--5-/-7---5-/-7--7-7--7-7---------------------------------------
Little devider in between the chorus and the second verse is:
E:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G:------4-4-2-2-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D:----------------44-4-22-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:---------------------------4-2-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's muted and is similar to the intro to Welcome To The Jungle.
Then , after another verse and chorus... comes the solo. I'm working on it...
Then, after the solo comes this bit. I'll leave the muting judgements to you, as it is quite random..
E:-----x-5-/-7----------x-5-/-7----------x-5-/-7---------7-----7----5---2--1------------------------------------------------

Improvise the lead ending...
Now add a large audience, giant fan, bandana, long floppy hair and the rest of the band and there you have a
song to keep the crowd going all night.
