Tabs
[three versions - bass and solos]
------
the chords follow the bass going: 
A augmentedA - 
E MajorE - Bmin - E MajorE
the "chorus" part ("you soft and lonely you, etc")
goes F#min - 
G+G - F#min - G+G - F#min - G+G - 
D MajorD - D MajorD
the beginning riff is like:
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
--18-18-18-16-16-14-----------------------------------------
----------------------18-18-18-16-16-14---12-12-11-12-11----
--------------------------------------------------------14--
------------------------------------------------------------
X2
(then one bar of this, which i invented to sorta sound like
what he does :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------14-16----
-----------11-12-14-----------11-12-14---------11-12-14-16----------
--14-14-14-----------14-14-14----------14-14-14---------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
and do the first riff again.

Measurements of time
====================
' = 1/32
^ = 1/16
. = 1/8
! = 1/4
o/ = half note
o = whole note
Other notation
==============
a+b (where a and b are measurements of time) =
add 'a' plus 'b' more time on that note
(e.g.) !+. means a quarter note + an eighth of a note time
******************
.__. = means that the previous note connects over
(in other words, don't play the other note)
******************
As everyone knows by now, the chords to this song are:
A augmentedA E MajorE 
B minorBm D MajorD
-0- -0- -2- -2-
-2- -0- -3- -3-
-2- -1- -4- -2-
-2- -2- -4- -0-
-0- -2- -2- -x-
-x- -0- -x- -x-
If you already know the timing to the notes, then you can just look at
the notes and 'feel' your way through. If you don't know the timing,
you can try to figure out what the timing is by looking at the time
I put at the bottom of each TAB. It may be confusing at first, but you'll
get used looking at it. I tried using music notation as close as possible.
I'm pretty sure the notes and time are correct, though I may be wrong.
Remember, if you don't like this version, there other versions of JLH in
ftp sites.
Corrections, additions, and/or distributions are encouraged, but please
give credit where credit is due.
Comments are also welcome. :)

repeat first part, into first verse.
(btw, I don't have my guitar, or the music handy, so the timing
might be a bit out here, though I think its right.)
Verse is Bass, Guitar 1 as first part, Guitar 2 on chords,
with this keyboard part (arranged ofr guitar):
This first part is the last 2 bars of the intro.

Then back to intro, with all instruments, for 2 or 4 bars
(depends if you want the album (4) or single (2) version)
Then to the 2nd verse, music as the first.
Then to the 1st Chorus, which is something like this:
Guitar 2 (chords): A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD D*
Bass follows chords, with similar rythym as intro.
Guitar 1 also does chords, but only strums each one once,
with the D* chord played higher.
It then goes back to the intro music, with the 2nd
keyboard part as a solo. I normally play this is slight
overdrive, and slight delay, on my guitar, but an octave lower
than I have transcribed (which is at the right octave for
the keyboard).
Then it does the verse again, with the first 4 bars of the
guitar theme (from the intro) at the end of the verse, to
the last chorus, ending on the D*.
