PUSHING THE NEEDLE TOO FAR (Amy Ray)
------------------------------------
[Each chord is one 6/8 measure, except two chords joined by a hyphen are
 one measure _total_.]
[G=320033; C(9)=x32033; F6(9)=xx3233. Use your index finger to hammer-on
 and pull-off a lot, whenever you feel like it.]

STRUMMING PATTERN:

[Amy Ray probably doesn't strum every measure exactly the same, but these are
 typical. Note that this isn't the intro, or the chorus, or anything; it's
 just for illlustrative purposes. ("d"=strum down, "u"=strum up.)]

 G+G            C(9)           F(9)    C(9)

GUITAR SOLO:

=  hammer-on or pull-off
/  slide
T  tenth fret (takes up less space this way)

t16 denotes 16th-note triplets; other than those, the timing and spacing
   are accurate.

[The (8) on the BB string in the second-to-last measure is only played the
 first time through, coming out of the solo. After that, play the 2 on
 the G+G string.]
