CAMERA


So, let's call this "riff a".

D(4) !0-----------0-2-!3-------------0-!2---------------!----------------!
A(5) !----------------!----------------!----------------!------0---0---0-!

D(4) !0-----------0-2-!3-------------0-!2---------------!----------------!
A(5) !----------------!----------------!----------------!1-----1---0---0-!

That's the first eight measures of the song. In fact, that's the bass line for

all the verses. If you have a bass and a guitar both, the bass should play
this throughout (except for the chorus) and the guitar should not come in until

the third line of the first verse ("when the party lulls..."). If you have
just a guitar, then you should play this for the first two lines of the first
verse.

We'll call this "riff b".

e(1) !5-------------5-!----------------!------3---------!0-----0-----0---!
B(2) !3-----------3---!------3---------!----0-----0-----!--3-----3-----3-!
G(3) !2---------2-----!--2-------2-----!--2---------2---!----0-----0-----!
D(4) !0-------0-------!3-----------3-0-!2-------------2-!----------------!

There is, of course, ad lib. on the actual recording, but this is the basic
pattern.

And this is "riff c".
         (slide)
e(1) !------------5/10!8-------------10!7-------------!----------------!
B(2) !----------3-----!----------------!---------10p8h!10----10--------!
G(3) !--------2-------!          (pull-off and hammer-on)
D(4) !0---------------!

Also, throughout the chorus, there's a pretty typical sus4/add2 chord pattern;
for example, on the D chord, do something like this to the note on e(1):
e(1) !2-----2-2-3---5-!--3---2---0---2-!
Do the same thing on the second string while playing the A chord at the end of
the chorus. On the C chord, hammer-on to the third fret on the second string
(Cadd2) in a similar pattern.
