First off, I’ll just suggest chords to play. What I mean is, I’m not entirely sure where on the neck those above chords are being played in each case. The rhythm guitar part is somewhere buried in the mix, so it’s not the clearest thing to hear. But I want to at least give some sorts of chords. Then, I’ll try to tab out bits and pieces of Todd’s lead guitar.

E----16--14--11---------------------------------------------------- B----16--14--11---------------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------------------- <--this little hook is played D---------------------------------------------------------------- each time Daryl sings, "You’re A---------------------------------------------------------------- much too much.." E---------------------------------------------------------------- E---11--9--7--9--11--7------------------------------------------- <---slide between all of those B---11--9--7--9--11--7------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- "Too soooon" Listen to the recording to get an idea for the timing on those, because I’m not good at accurately tabbing that sort of stuff. Bridge: E---11s12-12-12---11s12-12-12-12--------------------------------- B---11s12-12-12---11s12-12-12-12--------------------------------- G---11s13-13-13---11s13-13-13-13--------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- ^Those are played fast, so again, listen to the record to get an idea of the timing. I’m just trying to get the actual notes down. Todd’s solo-ish thingies: During the bridge, there’s a part where Todd mimics Daryl’s vocal melody with a fast little guitar riff. I’ll try to tab out some of that here. I’ll quote the corresponding vocal underneath each tab. E-------------14--pb16r14--12h14p12---------------------------- B--14-14--17---------------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- "Dont get too heavy babe" (pb = prebend) E---14-16-16-14-12-14-12-pb16r14--12h14p12------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- "You’ve only known me for a week" E--------------14--16p14--12-14--pb16r14--12h14p12------------ B---14-14--17--------------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- "Gotta keep it steady babe" E--16-16-14-12-(x4)-------21v----------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- "Gotta keep it real" There’s some more to that solo, just a few more things..but I’m too lazy. The next guitar part I’ll tab are his little arpegios in the "I love you, but I don’t love you" part. Kinda hard to hear this closely, so it’s an approximation: E------9--------9-----------9--11--9------------------------- B--------11--------11-----------------11---11---------------- G--11--------11--------11----------------9------------------- D------------------------------------------------------------ A------------------------------------------------------------ E------------------------------------------------------------ F#6 E------11--------11--------11----13--11-------------------------- B---------13--------13------------------13------13--------------- G--13--------13--------13------------------11-------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- G#6 And then it goes back to the main verse again.
