2000 Miles

                          (1983)

(This whole song should be played on
 a Rickenbacker 12-string or per
"The Isle of View" on an acoustic 
12-string! -- LM)

> The intro lick, that also 
continues through most of the song,
> goes like this:
>
>
> e|---------2-3-|-0-------2-3-|
> b|-3-----------|---3---------|
> G|---0---------|-----2-------|
> D|-----0-------|-------------|
> A|-------------|-------------|
> E|-------------|-------------|

Try this instead -- let the bass 
notes ring.  Note that the timing is
triplets:

4 b|3-------------3---------|
- G|--0-------------0-------|
4 D|----0-------------------|

> Then right before the first verse:
>
> e|-------------|
> b|-3p1-0-------|
> G|-------2-0---|
> D|-----------4-|
> A|-------------|
> E|-------------|
