Intro lick thingy:
E-10-10-10-10/-8--8--8--8--8/7-7-7-----------------
B-12-12-12-12/10-10-10-10-10/8-8-8-----------------
G--------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------
During the verse he plays something like this:
E-7-0-5-0-3-0-2---
B-----------------
G-----------------
D-----------------
A-----------------
E-----------------
During the chorus he plays something like this:
E-----7-7-5/3-5-------|-----7-5-3------------
B-3/5-----------------|-3/5------------------
G---------------------|----------------------
D---------------------|----------------------
A---------------------|----------------------
E---------------------|----------------------
Then in verse 2 he plays these four licks:
E-7/5-3-2----|--------10-------------- NOTE: By 12r10 I mean to release the full bend
B------------|-10^(12)---(12)r10-8----
G------------|---------------------9--
D------------|------------------------
A------------|------------------------
E------------|------------------------
E-----------------------|----7----7------------
B-5-8-5-8-5-8--10^(12)--|-----------10p8h10----
G-----------------------|-7/9--7/9-------------
D-----------------------|----------------------
A-----------------------|----------------------
E-----------------------|----------------------
Then repeat the chorus licks ( in case you dont wanna scroll back up here they are):
E-----7-7-5/3-5-------|-----7-5-3------------
B-3/5-----------------|-3/5------------------
G---------------------|----------------------
D---------------------|----------------------
A---------------------|----------------------
E---------------------|----------------------
Then afterwards do this stuff(aka solo. its not exactly right but oh well,
i dont see YOU trying to tab the entire lead guitar part)
E-----------------8~---8----------8---------8--------12--8------------------------
B-5-8-5-8-5-8-5-8--------11^(13)----11^(13)--11^(13)-------11--/8-----------------
G-----------------------------------------------------------------10-8------------
D---------------------------------------------------------------------10-10-8-10--
A---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's all I fell like tabbing from the solo, so just jam the rest in Cm penatonic.
Now for the next verse: (again, by R i mean RELEASE then bend)
E--------------------------------|----------------------------|--------------------------
B-10^(12)--10^(12)--10^(12)------|-10^(12) 10^(12)R-8---------|-10^(12)-10^(12)-8--(10)--
G--------------------------------|--------------------11------|---------------------9----
D--------------------------------|----------------------------|--------------------------
A--------------------------------|----------------------------|--------------------------
E--------------------------------|----------------------------|--------------------------
E----------------------------
B-10^(12) 10^(12)--8---8-----
G--------------------9-------
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------
Then repeat with that kind of stuff. Basically, if you want to improv a little
for the verses play around with these notes:
E-----------8-10-12------ Just mess around with the previous verse licks.
B---8-10-12--------------
G-9----------------------
D------------------------
A------------------------
E------------------------
For the chorus just play the the little scale above and for the happy sounding part play Cm penatonic.
