Difficulty: Intermediate

This song is played in a different tunning, so I watched a few guys played this on standard and I made my own
version, is something like that:
e|---0------0-------0-2-3-3/6-7-3-2/3/2/0|
BB|---0------0----------------------------|
G+G|---0------0----------------------------|
D MajorD|--5------5------5----------------------|
A augmentedA|-4--4-0-3--3-0-2-----------------------|
E MajorE|-----------------0---------------------|

Then just play that sequence 3 times:
e|-0---0---0-0-0-2-3-3/6-7-3-2/3/2/0|
BB|-0---0---0-0-0-0-0-0/0-0-0-0/0/0/0|
G+G|-0---0---0-0----------------------|
D MajorD|-5---5---5-2----------------------|
A augmentedA|-4-0-3-0-2-2----------------------|
E MajorE|----------------------------------|

Then play this chord: 000200 and slide your finger across the neck of the guitar and stop in the 3rd fret,
then make this riff:
e|3-5/6-3-2-0--------|
BB|0-0/0-0-0-0-0/0----|
G+G|------------2/0----|
D MajorD|----------------2-2|
A augmentedA|----------------0-2|
E MajorE|-------------------|
Then slide this E minorEm position again across the neck and repeat this sequence since the 000200 chord.

Basically, this is the whole song.
Original key in the “Kiss Me” album is in A, but this version is in C#.
It´s such a brilliant, beautiful, psychedelic and inspiring song. So it´s indispensable the feeling when you
play it. Improvise through the song and let your mind blowing.
