La Dolly Vita

Intro: [MAIN RIFF] 4x's


[Main Riff]:  Played through entire 
song, except when [BASE Fill 1] is
              played then [Main 
Riff] starts up again

I lay my head on her bosom
To cry myself to sleep
I see no greater wisdom    [BASE 
Fill 1]
She has given me           [Main 
Riff] starts up here after this line


[Fill 1][electric]:  This is a SLOW

Sweet as true love
La Dolly Vita       [Fill 1]
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream

[Solo][electric]:  I KNOW this isn't
 exact, but its sounds fairly close.
         oh yah, you better 
appreciate this solo!

[Main Riff]
You hear a lot of visions
You can't even stop
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
Can't see what you're missing
Spinning like a top

[small variation from the main 
riff]: Figure it out.  Not tuff.
Fade away I want to see her
Fade away I want to see her
I only want to meet her

[Main Riff]
La Dolly Vita       [Fill 1]
True as blue sky
La Dolly Vita       [Fill 1]
Cool as ice cream
Cool as ice cream

[Some Crash Cymbols]
Take it all the way down
Forsake ones you have now
Take it all the way down

[Sorry the outro escapes me.  Its 
really distorted and hard to figure 
out]

TRANSCRIPTION BY: David Balogh

        This song is pretty simple. 
 It consists of one basic part.
  It looks like this:
e[-------2---2--2-0--2----2-2----2------2---2--2-0--2----2-2-]
B[--0h2--2-2-2--2-0--2-2--2-2--2-2-0h2--2-2-2--2-0--2-2--2-2-]
G[--3----3-3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3----3-3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-]
D[--4----4-4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4----4-4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-]
A[--4----4-4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4----4-4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-]
E[--0h2--2-2-2--2-0----2--2-2--2---0h2--2-2-2--2-0----2--2-2-]

        There are a few slide parts.
  If you want to learn those, look 
at
Carlos Bustos's tab.  He has all the
 slide parts tabbed
out.
        The most common variation is
 like this:
e[--3--2----------------]
B[--5--4----------------]    When 
Billy sings:
G[--5--4------PAUSE-----]    "cool 
as ice cream"
D[--5--4----------------]    there 
is no pause, go straight
A[--3--2----------------]     into 
the one main part.
E[----------------------]

    Another part of the song, an 
interlude has this:
e[--2------0-------2-------0------]
B[--2------0-------2-------0------] 
 with ad-lib guitar noise
G[--3------3-------3-------3------] 
  (the slide part is just
D[--4------4-------4-------4------] 
     slow and quiet)
A[--4------4-------4-------4------]
E[--2------0-------2-------0------]

        I have an idea on how the 
outro goes, but it doesn't
 sound exactly right, so if anyone 
can correct me, please do so.
e[-------------------0---0---0-------------------------------]
B[--2--2-2-22-2-2--0-0-0-0-0-0-------------------------------]   I can kinda hear a slide
G[--3--3-3-33-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-------------------------------]    part that sounds like
D[--4--4-4-44-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-4-------------------------------]     this right here:
A[--4--4-4-44-4-4--4---4---4------] 
    A[--9s7-7-9s7-7-9----]
E[--2--2-2-22-2-2--0---0---0---------------------------------]
               BOTH GUITARS HAVE 
HEAVY DISTORTION!!!!!

 SONG ENDS ON F#

        The story behind the weird 
crashing sound at the end is
 not one I know.  If anybody can 
explain what is #$&@ is going
 on!!!!!!!!!!!!!
