--------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------

B-|-------0---0------------------|-|
G-|-----8-------8----------------|-|
D-|---6-----------6-----9~~--9---|-|
A-|-4-----------------7--------5-|-|
E-|-----------------5------------|-|
The chorus has basic chords and is picked like so:
E B
E-|---------0---------------0-------------------------------------------------|
B-|-------0---0-----------0---0------------5-4-------------4-5-4--------------|
G-|-----1-------1-------1-------1--------4-----4---------4-------4------------|
D-|---2-----------2---2-----------2----4---------4-----4-----------4----------|

C#m Asus2
E-|---------4---------------4----------------0---------------0----------------|
B-|-------5---5-----------5---5------------0---0-----------0---0--------------|
G-|-----6-------6-------6-------6--------2-------2-------2-------2------------|
D-|---6-----------6---6-----------6----2-----------2---2-----------2----------|
A-|-4---------------4----------------0---------------0------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Now, after the second chorus, there's the bridge ("And in the mornin' I'll be
gone away...") which also features simple chords picked like this:
Bsus2 Asus2 E (repeat)
E-|---------2---------------2---------------0---------------0-----------------|
B-|-------2---2-----------2---2-----------0---0-----------0---0---------------|
G-|-----4-------4-------4-------4-------2-------2-------1-------1-------------|
D-|---4-----------4---4-----------4---2-----------2---2-----------2-----------|
A-|-2---------------2---------------0-----------------------------------------|
E-|-------------------------------------------------0-------------------------|
Okay, here's the tab for the solo, it's not as hard as it may look. I'm no
lead guitarist by ANY stretch of the imagination and I can play it without
too much effort. This is played over the verse progression:
E-|--9h11h12-11-9----9--------------------------------------------------------|
B-|---------------12---9--------------------------10p9h10-9---14p12--14-------|
G-|----------------------9-8----------------9p8h9-----------------------------|
D-|--------------------------11~~~--11p9h11-----------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------9h11-12-/14-12-11-12-/16------|
B-|-12p10p9-10----9-----------------------------x-----------------------------|
G-|------------11---11-9-11-9-8--/9-9--/6-6~~---x-----------------------------|
D-|---------------------------------------------x-----------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|-14-14-12-12p11-11p9-9-11h12-11-12~~---------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-|---------------------------------------11p9h11-9--11--11p9h11-11h13p11-----|
D-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|-------------------------------9-9~~--12-12~~-|
B-|---------9h10h12--10-9-10-12~~----------------|
G-|-9--11---x------------------------------------|
D-|---------x------------------------------------|
A-|---------x------------------------------------|
E-|----------------------------------------------|
And 'dat be all there is to it... I think the hardest part is stretching your
fingers to fit the first two chords (the verses). It's a pain in the ass.
Don't be afraid to use your pinky...
Good luck...

| Their ENTIRE 1st album is amazing, and hardly anyone knows it because this song was their only hit and it was on their 2nd album. Cant believe this is the only SK song here. I'll have to post some others! | |
