E7#9

B -8---------------|- - -

G -7---------------|- - - [As a true Focus purist, I think it would be

Note: Yes, the E7#9 at the end of measure 4 (and elsewhere) is the dreaded

"Hendrix" chord (as far as I can tell....either that, or I just use it

as a surrogate for distorted-guitar-chaos). The pinky slide from the

G in this chord to the F# (added sixth) at the start of the A is, at

best, a subtle effect. I think I hear it in places, others disagree.

Anyway, I like it, and it occurs naturally with my lousy (lazy) fingers.

On the A strumming in measures 1, 2, and others, pick real hard, and

shake the fretted A (D string). The out-of-tuneness this causes is very

noticable on the song. BTW, if your amp is not capable of at least 50%

total harmonic distortion, don't even bother with this song!

Key:

@ = whole note } = quarter rest

! = half note __/ = tied notes (don't re-sound)

| = quarter note ^ = hammer or pull (you figure which one)

_| = single eighth note ~ = slide (you figure which way)

_|. = dotted eighth note

|_| = eighth notes

] = sixteenth note
