Tabs
On the boards (1970)
h = hammer on
p = pull off
let ring ~ hold the note
:| = repeat
In this song licks and riffs often repeat during it and are sometimes played only
slightly different.
If you are an more experienced guitarist or don't have much time just leave out the explanations.
The Intro:
In riff 1 you hold the 3(
BB string) and the 2(
G+G string) with your
ringfinger and your forefinger. with your middlefinger you do the hammer ons and
pull offs (
D MajorD string). you play the short riff 4 times then you play 2 times the D MajorD
power chord (= 
D5D5).
You repeat this order 3 times. Then you play Lick 1 (practice!) and end it with a D MajorD chord.
Listen to the song to get the right timing/rhythm/feeling...

Verse:
The verse begins with "Whats goin...". Guitar starts as Rory(or you) sings "on".
You play D MajorD , then A5(power chord = 
A5A5) , then Lick 2, then A5, then Lick 1 and D.
You repeat this then you play Lick 1 and D, then Lick 1 but instead of D MajorD you begin
with the Bridge immediately.
If you know the song you won't have too many problems to memorize the order.
And listen to the song to get the rhythm of the D MajorD and the A5A5 chords.

Bridge:
The Bridge consists of 3 chords : 
Bb majorBb , 
C majorC and D. You play these 3 Chords in sequence 4 times .
The first 2 times you only play some notes of the chords (Apreggio-like),
after this you strum the whole chords or parts of them. Listen to the song and read the tab
to know what i mean. In this case the tab is only a rough suggestion of how the rhythm is played.
After the bridge the solo starts.

Solo:
Rory plays the solo over the Bridge chords (Bb, C, D MajorD). It would take me too long to tab the whole
solo, so just improvise or play the rhythm! The solo ends with a different riff
(Bb5, C5, F5, E5, D5D5)
played by the solo guitar too.
Solo: the key is Dm!
Rhythm(Bridge chords): Bb majorBb C majorC D MajorD (D MajorD) repeat 8 times
Solo-ending Riff:
Bb5Bb5 
C5C5 
F5F5 
E5E5 D5D5 Bb5Bb5 C5C5 F5F5 E5E5 D5D5

Outro:
Like the bridge the outro starts immediately with Bb, but then you play Lick 1 again and
play immediately after this C majorC (3rd fret, see Bridge) and the same with D MajorD (5th fret, see Bridge)
...Bb, Lick 1 + C, Lick 1 + D MajorD let ring
