the sands become a crust.  Most of 
Bm       Em
you have gone away.

Note: The way I play the Em chord ( 
the others are played similarly ) is

to play like an arpeggio ie.: Hold 
the Em chord O22OOO and play the B

note (5th str. 2nd fret) then the E 
(6th open) the B again with the

E optional (4th str. 2nd fret) and 
then strum the Em chord up (or 
down.)

using the first 3 strings in the 
open position while ringing the bass
 notes.

Second small leads (pull off 7to5 if
 you prefer)

  Hey!                              
   Hey!


Repeat and play a Em blues scale 
over the chord progression above. 
Note that
the song is in the Key of G but E 
runs work well and y'know the 
mixylodian
scales that Buck uses. Modify the E 
blues scales to your liking as best
you can and also play parts of the 
lead parts shown above to get the 
sound.

For the lead parts try the 3rd run 
of E blues scales on the 5th fret.

Happy playing.
