Gonna let your love ..... ---------- The album version of this has 2 electric guitars, one clean with an amp tremolo effect, and the other semi-clean, both played WITHOUT picks. The tremolo effect could possibly be approximated with some hectic chorus pedal settings. Although John and Sonny probably play the two parts on the album, it is very impractical to play either at the same time as singing. For practical purposes, if you want to play the album parts with two guitarists, one singing, then the handiest thing to do is to have the singer play the clean part, and the other guitarist the semi-clean, and swap for the choruses. I hope this isn't too confusing- the tab for the solo walks a fine line between being understandable and not taking up too much space so that you don't have to wade through pages of tab. ASCII's such a bummer- all this took up just over a single page of manuscript paper for me. Anyway, corrections and comments always welcome.

I'm not writing each verse out since it takes up an awful lot of space- refer to the album to get the other fills. However, note that the last (outro) chorus consists of, more or less, the first two bars played 9 times altogether. + + + + + + + + |-------------------------7\------|------------------------(----7-)-| |---------------------------------|------------------------(------)-| |---------------------5/7---------|-----0------------------(5/7---)-| |-----0---------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|/7-----3-------------------------| |/7-----3-------------------------|---------------------------------| + + + + + + + + |-------------------------7\5-5p3-|-3-----------7\\\| |---------------------------------|-----------8-8\\\| |---------------------5/7-----4---|-4-----------7\\\| |-----0---------------------------|-----------------| |---------------------------------|-----------------| |/7-----3-------------------------|-----------------| Semi-clean parts- The second guitar doesn't come until the first chorus Chorus: + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Natural Harmonics............................ |-----------------|---------12--12--|-----------------|---------| |---------5-------|---------12------|---------5-------|---------| |---------5---5---|--------12-------|---------5---5---|---------| |--------5----5---|-----------------|--------5----5---|---------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|---------| Verse: (x2) (with palm muting) + + + + + + + + |---------0---------------0-------|---------------------------------| |---------0---------------0-------|---------0---------------0-------| |-----0-2-----2-------0-2-----2---|-----0-2---2-0-------0-2---------| |---------------------------------|-------------------0-------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| + + + + + + + + |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------0---------------3-------|---------0---------------0-------| |-----0-2-0-----------0-2-2h4p2p0-|-----0-2-0-----------0-2---0-2---| |-------------------0-------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| Bridge: (with palm muting) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + |---------|---------|---0---0-|-----------------| |---0---0-|---0---0-|---------|-----------------| |--2-2-2-2|--2-2-2-2|--0-0-0-0|-0---0-0---------| |-1---1---|-1---1---|-2---0---|----2------------| |-2---2---|-2---2---|---------|----3------------| |---------|---------|---------|-----------------| Solo: -
