TAKE ME FOR A LITTLE WHILE

The following phrase also reappears a lot, usually with

leads played over it. The rhythm shown here may not be

exactly right, but it sounds okay (esp. with the leads)

E-|--0---0-0---1---1-1-1-1-1-1--|--3---3-3---3---3-3-3-3-3-3---|

B-|--1---1-1---1---1-1-1-1-1-1--|--3---3-3---3---3-3-3-3-3-3---|

G-|--2---2-2---2---2-2-2-2-2-2--|--4---4-4---4---4-4-4-4-4-4---|

D-|--2---2-2---3---3-3-3-3-3-3--|--5---5-5---5---5-5-5-5-5-5---|

A-|--0---0-0---3---3-3-3-3-3-3--|--5---5-5---5---5-5-5-5-5-5---|

E-|--0---0-0---1---1-1-1-1-1-1--|--3---3-3---3---3-3-3-3-3-3---|

Incorporate the following licks in as necessary,

these two will be used a lot in this song:

E-|-----------12--15s17vvvvvvvv---|

B-|--------13---------------------|

G-|--12b14------------------------|

D-|-------------------------------|

A-|-------------------------------|

E-|-------------------------------|

E-|------------15------------15-----------------------|

B-|--13p12-13------13p12-13------13p12-13p12----------|

G-|-------------------------------------------12vvv---|

D-|---------------------------------------------------|

A-|---------------------------------------------------|

E-|---------------------------------------------------|

Later, over the top of one of the picking patterns during

a verse you get the following lead:

E-|-------------------------------|

B-|-----------12vv--10vv----------| This same lead appears

G-|--------13-------------9vv-----| at other times, sometimes

D-|-----14------------------------| leaving out the last two

A-|--14---------------------------| notes, others leaving out

E-|-------------------------------| the last one.

Just before the solo in the middle of the song, the progression

changes from the Am F G to Am G F . It's a small change,

but very noticable. It changes back to the Am F G right at the

end of the solo.

Solo:

I'll start the solo from where the common lead lick starts to

change. For a few seconds, two guitars will be playing. This

probably isn't exactly right either, so if anyone wants to

post corrections....

Am G F (etc.)

Just before the fade on the end, there is and additional

lick between the two common ones shown earlier. The whole

phrase goes something like this:

E-|-----------15------------15----------------------------------------------|

B-|--13p12-13------13p12-13-------13p12---15b17-15b17-15b17-15b17-15b17--13-|

The author's notes:

As with all of the Coverdale/Page songs I've posted, repeat the phrases as

necessary. There is lots of room to experiment with the leads in this song if

you have more than one guitar playing. Stuff just started falling together while

I was listening to it last night. Enjoy...

Questions, comments, additions, and corrections are welcome.

Special thanks to Edmund Breslin for giving me the accurate intro.

Hope you like it...
