  • 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + (4x)
    E||----------------------------------|| (. = short)
    B||*--------------------------------*||
  • G||-----------------------------6/7--|| This last slide has to be
    D||---7---7-------7-----7-------6/7--|| played real quick. As it's
    A||*7-7-7-7-7---7-7---7-7---7---4/5-*|| just for the effect, the
  • E||-5---5---5---5-----5-----5--------|| time for the first chord
    . . . (C#5) should be very short.

  •  
    (guitar with overdrive)
     
  • 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + What really is important here, is
    E|--------------------------------| that this rhythm-guitar holds
    B|------------------------7---5---| this C-chord until the second
  • G|------------------------7---5---| half of the first beat of the
    D|------------------------7---5---| next bar. It's not starting with
    A|7-7-7-7-7---7-7---7-7---5---3---| that rhythm again immediately on
  • E|5-5-5-5-5---5-5---5-5-----------| the first beat. It's the other
    (C) rhythm guitar that just goes on,
    on the first beat. That's why
  • 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + (6x) I've placed the chord between
    E||----------------------------------|| brackets. Don't strike it but
    B||*(5)---------------------7---5---*|| just let it ring. I advise
  • G||-(5)---------------------7---5----|| you to listen to the last
    D||-(5)---------------------7---5----|| bars on the record (CD-time
    A||*(3)-7-7-7---7-7---7-7---5---3---*|| 3:46/3:57). You can hear it
  • E||-----5-5-5---5-5---5-5------------|| very clear on that spot (this
    guitar is panned on the
    right) as there is no sing-
  • ing.
    Another thing that you have to do, while playing this chord, is
    pulling the strings a bit downward with your fretting hand, to make
  • the pitch a bit higher like Francis is also doing with his voice.

    The nanana part:
    This a beatiful Hendrix-like backing with slides and hammer-ons

  • Outro:
     
    After Verse 3, the break is repeated and then follows the outro, that
  • starts with a change of time-signature. The 4/4 time changes in 3/4
    time for one bar:

  • This last chord rings on til the end
    of the next bar and it's making a dive
    to an F-chord and back to C again.
  • It might be a tremolo-bar but I don't
    think so. Do you? It had to be played
    on a stratocaster then? I think they
  • did that effect later.
     
     
  • Second rhythm guitar:
     
    This guitar is given some more low while treble is turned a bit down.
  • It is panned left on the record.
     
    Eight bars rest (Intro and first lines of the verse).
