  • Intro (Fig 1)
     
    G|--------------|---------------| Dave Silverstone wrote that the
  • D|----------7-9-|--------7-11-9-| A to B part is a hammer-on, so try
    A|-.-.---99-----|-.-.---9-------| that too. I think Stefan used both.
    E|-5-7-7--------|-5-7-7---------|
  •  
    This is the main verse figure. The A/D in parenthesis is often not played. (Fig 2)

  • This part is played right after the last half of the above riff.
    This is also a tricky part that requires good improvisational skills. (Fig 3)
     
  •  
    G|----------------------------9------| This part is a different riff each

  • A|-----------10---10-------10----10--| that's the same is it's a C root

  •  
    This is the beautifully chorded "Lovely lady..." riff. It uses the progression G-A-C-B and is played twice.
    It uses Stefan's improvisational skills as the part above.
  • Since it would be almost impossible to tab this part of the song out,
    I'm going to do it like this:
     
  • (Fig 5)
    G A C D
    G A C D
  •  
     
    Then the song goes back into the verse, then after a little while, it's time for...
  •  
    THE BIG CHORUS!!!
     
  • This is another madly improvised section of the song
    with the roots this time being F-G-C-B and they go something like this:
     
  • (Fig 6)
    F G C B
    F G C B
  • F G C B
    F G C B E
     
  •  
    It looks as if it's pretty spaced out, but it's a lot closer
    together when you play along with the CD or your buddies.
  • Also, the E on the last sentence of the song is Fig 4.
     
     
  • And last but not least:
    The Violin Solo

  • E|-3-3---1-1---0-0----|-3-3---1-1-----------------------------3-3(XXX)1-1(XXX)0-0-|
     
    On the first time of playing the second riff, slide where the X's are on the A string.
  • On second time of playing the second riff, play the notes on the A string with muted notes between them.
    Also, let the last E ring.
