Chorus:
Bb Cm7 Dm Eb Dm7 Cm7 F
Fl---y, Famous Mockingbird Fl------y [Repeat]
After the chorus you then repeat Section (1) and (2)
Then comes the stuff on the 24th fret. Every note is hit on a beat. This
is the beat you carry into the next section. Hopefully I can explain it
well enough.
Repeat Section (3) X2
E|-24-----------24------------

D|-----------------2-3-5/7--5-
A|----2-3-5/7-----------------
E|----------------------------
Below is the way I think of the part folowing Section (3). The notes in
( ) represent the ones that should be hit on the beat carried over from
the previous section. In other words, as you are tapping you foot to
each note in Section (3) with the last note being (5) on the D string,
the next tap of your foot should coincide to the (10) on the D string in
FORM 1 below. This same rhythm goes on for all the notes in ( ).
FORM 1 FORM 2
E|------------------------------- --------------------------------------
B|------------------------------- --------------------------------------
G|------------------------------- -------------(7)-------------(7)------
D|---7-9-(10)-9-7---7-9-(10)-9-7- ------7-9-10-----10-9-7-9-10-----10-9-
A|-7--------------7-------------- --------------------------------------
E|------------------------------- --------------------------------------
FORM 3

B|--------------------------------------
G|----------7-(9)-7---------7-(9)-7-----
D|-----9-10---------10-9-10---------10--
A|--------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------
Below is an example of what the sequence (FORM 1,2,3,2,1,2) would look like
E|------------------------------------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------------------------------------
G|----------------------------------7-------------7-----------7-9-7-
D|---7-9-10-9-7---7-9-10-9-7-7-9-10---10-9-7-9-10---10-9-9-10-------
A|-7------------7---------------------------------------------------

G|--------7-9-7-----------7------

A|---------------7------------7----------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------
The pattern for the part following the 24th fret section, goes like this:
FORM 1,2,3,2,1,2,3 - then small improvised section.
Then: FORM 1,2,3,2,1,2 but only hit the first two notes in FORM 2
