I think that there are two electric guitars in this one. I'm going to show you the chords, the single guitar/bass riff, and a tip or two - you can take it from there. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web.

TIPS

All of the Song

The chord symbols do not pertain to any beats.

The term " - silence - " means to quit playing an A(lick) on the third beat - and to be silent for the fourth beat.

A(lick1)

Whenever you see "A(lick1)" play the following with the palm of your pickin' hand lightly resting on the strings.

A(lick1)

1 -|| --------------------------------------------------|----------------
2 -|| --------------------------------------------------|----------------
3 -|| --------------------------------------------------|----------------
4 -|| --------------------------------------------------|----------------
5 -|| -----------------------------------------3-4-3--|----------------
6 -|| ---5-3-0-3---5-3-0-3---5-3-0-3---5-------|---(etc.)-------

A(lick2)

Whenever you see "A(lick2)" play the following with the palm of your pickin' hand lightly resting on the strings.

A(lick2)

1 -|| ----------------------------------------------------|------
2 -|| ----------------------------------------------------|-------
3 -|| ----------------------------------------------------|-------
4 -|| ----------------------------------------------------|-------
5 -|| ----------------------------------------------------|--------
6 -|| ---5-3-0-3---5-3-0-3---5-3-0-3---5-3-2-0--|--------

Note that A(lick1) and A(lick2) are almost exactly alike - only the last three notes are different.

Double-pick the each of the licks for more fun - and to sound like one of the guitars on the recording.

Harp Solo

The A7 chord can be played.
