This seems to be what they are playing throughout most of the song.
Note: There are some strumming variations on the track so I will just post

	probably the single greatest rock song ever.

No Picture Jamie Wanna Be	#2 by Jamie Smith at Mar 28, 1973 at 3:25 AM EST
	This is more than just a song it's an opiate for the mind to escape from the dulldrum of life and rock to something that truly is one of the greatest rock songs ever made from an underappreciated legendary band.

	I love this song. Shame so few have commented :( Its so true as well, rock 'n' roll saves lives. You can't say that about the rubbish these days.

	I have standing orders with the girlfriend to have "His life was saved by rock 'n' roll" put on my headstone. Not joking.
