Here's the breakdown. Verses: Jimmy basically plays and A13A13 and E9E9 during the slower verses. Here's how I form these chords : A13A13 E9E9 and these varied forms e----------|----0---------7-------------------------------------- B---7------|----7---------0-------------------------------------- G---6------|----7---------7-----7-------------------------------- D---5------|----6---------6-----6-------------------------------- A----------|--------------------7-------------------------------- E----------|----------------------------------------------------- I suggest to do a little ad-lib with the E9E9 chord variations until you find something that works and sounds good to you.

slide player, so if you can't, just slide to the notes rather than picking each note, it sounds ok especially if you add a little delay.) notation : s = slide (e.g. xsy means pick note x and slide from note x to note y) e-------------------------|--------|-------------------|--------------------- B-------------------------|--------|------5--7s9--7s9--|--7s2----------------

A----------------------|-----------------------------------|-------|---|---- E----------------------|-----------------------------------|-------|---|---- Note that on the solo if you aren't playing slide just bar the A augmentedA on the 14th fret and the BB on the 16th fret with your ring finger. It allows you to let the notes ring and makes the fingering very easy. Sometimes I substitute the following A augmentedA chord and BB chords for the A augmentedA on the 14th and the BB on the 16th respectivley, but still play the same notes. Obviously you don't do this if you play the solo with a slide. A augmentedA BB e-----9-----------11----------- B-----10----------12----------- G-----9-----------11----------- D------------------------------ A------------------------------ E------------------------------ Outro : Distorted, play to the end of the song. After playing the following part twice, from the third time on mute the strings in between the notes that are played to get that "chuka" effect. e-----------------|----------------------------------------------------------- B------------9-9--|---------------9-9-9-9------------------------------------- G------------9-9--|----7---7-7----9-9-9-9------------------------------------- D---9-9------9-11-|--7-7---7-9----9-9-9-9------------------------------------- A---9-11-----0----|--7-9---0------7-7-7-7------------------------------------- E-----------------|---------------0-0-0-0------------------------------------- As always with my tab versions you better listen to the record to get the timing straight and the changes. Feel free to make any corrections because if it don't sound right it probably ain't.
