a second guitar comes in with a harmony, but for the sake of simplicity and notation I have only written out the top part. The lower harmony notes are a major third lower, as far as I can tell. Also, the chords that accompany the solo are F-A-Bb-C in succession.]E|------------|-----------|------- B|-10---10-10-|-11--11-11-|-13-11- G|------------|-----------|------- D|------------|-----------|------- A|------------|-----------|------- E|------------|-----------|------- E|---------| B|10--(4x)-| G|---------| D|---------| A|---------| E|---------| E|---------------------| B|-11p10--13p10-(8x)---| G|---------------------| D|---------------------| A|---------------------| E|---------------------| E|------------------------- B|-13b15(ho| ld)15-15r13-10 G|------------------------- D|------------------------- A|------------------------- E|------------------------- E|-----------|-------------------------| B|-------------|-------------------------| G|12b14r12---|-10-12-------------------| D|-----------|-------10-10-------10----| A|-----------|-------------10h12-------| E|-----------|-------------------------| E|------------------------|------- B|------------------------|------- G|------------------------|-10-10- D|-------10---12-10-12----|------- A|-11h12------------------|------- E|------------------------|------- E|-----------| B|-----------| G|10-12p10-9-| D|-----------| A|-----------| E|-----------| E|--------------------|---------- B|--------------------|-15b17r15- G|-15b17r15-14-15-14--|---------- D|--------------------|---------- A|--------------------|---------- E|--------------------|---------- E|----------------13--| B|13-15-13--13-15-----| G|--------------------| D|--------------------| A|--------------------| E|--------------------| E|-15b17--15-13-----|------------- B|--------------15--|-------13-13- G|------------------|-12-14------- D|------------------|------------- A|------------------|------------- E|------------------|------------- E|------|----------------------| B|13-15-|-13-15-13-15-13-13-13-| G|------|----------------------| D|------|----------------------| A|------|----------------------| E|------|----------------------| C E|-15p13----------------------13 B|-------15p13--(p| lay 14x)---- G|------------------------------ D|------------------------------ A|------------------------------ E|------------------------------ E|- B|1 G|- D|- A|- E|- E|13-13-13-13-13-| B|3-13-13-13-13-13-| G|---------------| D|---------------| A|---------------| E|---------------|Bb Late at night through theF C candlelight, I told you it wasn'tDm just for kicks,F C You said, "what?" and we nestledBb Bb down into your mother hips (cool electric piano riff) Then finish it up on an F Chord **** Chord Shapes:F [133211]C [032010] [335553]Dm [557765]Bb [113331] [688766]A [577655] [002220]
