     This is a great album (naturally; great artist, great album).  I have
     somewhat confirmed the following chords by watching the band play
     live.

     There are 3 main parts to this song:  Intro/General Rhythm, Lead, and
     Chorus...

     =========================

     Intro Chords
     Strings    6  5  4  3  2  1
     Am         x  0  2  2  x  x
     Am?        x  0  2  3  x  x
     Em         0  2  2  x  x  x
     G          3  2 (2) x  x  x
     G*         x  x  0  0  0  x

     Intro Chords and General Rhythm:
     Play the below figures with a tremolo effect.  Actually, I think these
     chords run through the length of the song, except for the last verse
     and the "let me ride" choruses.  One guitarist plays this, the other
     one (Joe Gore) plays the lead line.  Listen to the album for rhythm.

     Am  /  Am?  /  Am  /  Em  /  G  /  Em  /  G
     Am  /  Am?  /  Am  /  G*  /  Em  /  Em  /  G (or G*)

     =======================

     Lead Line:
     Pluck the following individual notes (should be played completely on
     the E string, I saw it live)

     E  F#  G  /D  D  B
     (the /D means to slide up to the D)


     =======================

     Chorus
     This is for the "let it ride part".  It is a kind of arpeggio, and
     because of the sound, it should probably be played the following way
     (near the 12th fret), with the guitar's pickup selector on the NECK
     pickup, to get a nice, round, bell-like tone.  (Please email me with
     corrections--I'm not very sure on this part).  The stretch from the C
     to the 12th Fret D can be a bit tough...
