Then, for the verse, repeat the riff without making the percussive sounds. At least I think that's the only distinction between the introduction and the verse but the bass is so prominent that it's hard to tell. If you know of another distinction, e-mail me at the aforementioned address and let me in on it. Here's my best attempt at the guitar solo:E|-------------------------------- B|------------3--2---2brbrbrbr--0- G|---4--4--4---------------------- D|-------------------------------- A|-------------------------------- E|-------------------------------- E||---7-----------------| B||---7---4---------6\7-| G||---7---4------7------| D||-----------7---------| A||---------------------| E||---------------------| E|---------------|------------ B|---7--7--8--7--|---15brp14-- G|---------------|------------ D|---------------|------------ A|---------------|------------ E|---------------|------------ E|--------------------------| B|14h15brp14--14h15brp14----| G|--------------------------| D|--------------------------| A|--------------------------| E|--------------------------| E|-------------------------------- B|---14h15brp14--14h15brp14------- G|-----------------------------9-- D|-----------------------------9-- A|-----------------------------7-- E|-------------------------------- E|----------------------| B|7---------------------| G|7---2-----------------| D|7---2-----------------| A|----0-----------------| E|----------------------| E|------------------------------ B|--7h8--7\5--7p5--------------- G|-----------------7p5----5h7--- D|------------------------------ A|------------------------------ E|------------------------------ E|------------------------| B|------------------------| G|5\3---5p3---------------| D|------------5-----------| A|------------------------| E|------------------------|Continues after the adE|------------------------------ B|------------------------------ G|----3\5---5\7---7\9---9\12---- D|------------------------------ A|------------------------------ E|------------------------------ E|------------------------| B|------------------------| G|14----------------------| D|------------------------| A|------------------------| E|------------------------|Repeat the main riff until the end of the song. Lyrics: I Danced before I had two feet I Sang before I had a tongue I laughed before I had two eyes and loved before my heart was young I swam before I had two hands and held the distance in my toes before I heard the stars or knew the wild compulsion of the rose I bore the fruits of many lives before I came into this day I knew before my grave was made the worms eat only death away (2x) I danced before I had two feet (4x) symbols used in transcription- x = make percussive sound with fretting hand b = bend r = release \ = slide h = hammer-on p = pull-off
