Main riff
Verse. Now Les sings the same melody what bass plays.
Pre-chorus
Chorus
This time chorus ends with different kind of melody
G|--17--16--15--13--14-------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
He's Captain Lariat! -riff again and first movement of this song ends with a D chord
G|--11-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
There comes a fast part
its an odd rhythm on the D-string, So tabbing it precisely would be waste of time
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0---0---0---0-0-0-0-0-0---0---0----0-0-0-0--0----.....---------15-15-17-15--12\--|

E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Basicly he is improvising licks from D dorian scale
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0---0---0---0-0-0-0-0-0---0---0----0-0-0-0--0-----10--12-10---12-----------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
after some bass soloing the chorus chord progression comes and bass is shredding way too fast for me to
catch it. After that the same chord progression comes just like the chorus earlier.
Play something around those chords. I don't really know.
G F#m Bb Am C Bm D
G|-----------2-4-2-------------5-7-5----------------7-9-7-----------------------------|
D|--------5--------4---------8-------7-----------10-------9-----0---------------------|

After this the song ends and you'll hear Sean Lennon practicing chorus melody.
