Play the Bass line for the left hand on the keyboard
part.
Play these chords over the bass line:
C 6 chord, D 7 chord
or
C 6 chord, F # diminished chord
The break in the song uses these chords:
G 7 chord, F 7 chord, E 7 chord
repeat.
Note: For the E 7 chord you might want to play three
different inversions of it in a row (keyboard only).
The solo is played using the D major scale with a
b 5. Here is that scale: D, E, F #, G, A, B, C, D
D0, LE0, LE2, LE3, LE5, LE7, LE8, A5, A7, D4, D5, D7,
G4, G5, G7, B5, B7, B8, HE5, HE7, HE8, HE10, HE12,
HE14, HE15, HE17, HE19, HE20, HE22
The solo stays within the scale. If you know the scale
then you can figure out the solo. The solo also
probably uses a slide.
The final break: (Play a D7 in the background)
Note: For the D7 chord in the final break you might
want to try to play 4 different inversions of it
(keyboard only).
