Both Derek and Cliff play, though both the same part. In concert, Cliff plays a straight chord progression, while Derek is doing the fancy hammer-ons and such you hear, as well as the solo. This song, btw, is in G. Anyway, here it is: Clean Guitar ------------ Intro: --2--2--2h3--2--2h3--3--3----------------2--2--2h3--2--2h3--3--3-------------- --3------------------3--3----------------3------------------3--3-------------- --2------------------0--0---------0------2------------------0--0-------------- --0------------------2--2--0h2p0---------0------------------2--0--0h2p0------- ---------------------3--3-----------------------------------3--2---------0---- ---------------------------------------------------------------3-------------- (Play twice) Verse 1: -------- D Cadd9 D Cadd9 G D Cadd9 D Cadd9 G D Cadd9 D Cadd9 G D Cadd9 D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D Chorus: ------- G D Cadd9 Cadd9 G D Cadd9 Cadd9 Solo: ----- -10-------------------------------10-10-12-12h14-14h15-14-12------------------- -10----------------13-12-------10----------------------------12-12-12p10------- -11-11-11h12-11-11-------12-12-------------------------------12-12-12p11-11---- -12-------------------------------------------------------------------------12- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- ---0----3--3- -7-7--------------------- -3---3--3--3- -7-7--7---7-------------- --------0--0- Back into Verse... ------7h9-7--5-4\2-0h2-0- --------0--0- ------------------------- --------2--2- ------------------------- --------3--3- I tried to break it up into sections where you can hear a "pause". listen to the cd, you'll see what i mean. NOTE on Solo: 2 things about this. 1st, it is my interpretation, so the fingerings might be different than Derek's, but it sounds the exact same, i checked several times. 2nd, i play solo guitar, so i have added come chord inversions where usually cliff would play, to fill it out. so sometimes there is _more_ here than on the CD. as always, mail me if you are lost. Verse 2: (Same as Verse 1) -------- Cadd9 G D (This time the Cadd9 G after verse is played only once) Chorus (See above) (Intro Lick is played ONCE) Bridge: ------- Em Am7 Em Am7 Em Am7 Em D Barre-D (10th fret) Chorus Chorus Outro: ------ Pick through D-Cadd9-G slowly (ritard) ------------------ Chord Signatures: ------------------ E|-3---3---2----0-----0------10--- B|-3---3---3----0-----1------10--- G|-0---0---2----0-----0------11--- D|-0---2---0----2-----2------12--- A|-2---3---x----2-----0------12--- e|-3---x---x----0-----x------10--- G Cadd9 D Em Am7 Barre-D (10th fret) Brett bdm@falcon.cy-net.net Written by Aaron Tate.
