    I'm not talking about retreating, little girl
    Gonna take our stand in this chevy bang

    Holding hands all the way to dixie land
    We've been trying to turn our lives around

    Don't turn away now darling, let's fire it up and wind it out

  • The following is the introductory acoustic guitar solo from the Budokan
    version. Like the song itself, it's very banjo-like, facilitated by the
    altered tuning. A melody line is played and intermingled with lots of droning
  • notes above it. I have notated the melody line, but not the flurry of open E
    and B strings above it. I'm not too sure if I'm explained this very well, but
    listen to the album and you should find it pretty straightforward- just a
  • matter of constantly bashing away at the E and B strings throughout: if it
    doesn't come naturally, I doubt if a full tab would do any good. The
    interlude is notated in the same manner.
