Listen for the timing, and be fluid with the sliding!
And don't be so picky about every detail and everything, Live versions and the album
version are always different: Find your own little licks and style and have fun with the song.

And that's all of the different parts of the song.The interlude/Intro repeats itself often between the verses and ithas a few different fills/hammer-ons in it, one of which: |nothing too hard| e|--2/4---4---4\2---2--2--0-2/4---4---4\2---2--2p0h2p0--| B|--0-0---0---0-0---0--0--0-0-0---0---0-0---0--0-0-0-0--|G#|--1/3---3---3\1---1--1--0-1/3---3---3\1---1--1-1-1-1--| E|--0-0---0---0-0---0--0--0-0-0---0---0-0---0--0-0-0-0--| B|--0-0---0---0-0---0--2--0-0-0---0---0-0---0--2-2-2-2--| E|--0-0---0---0-0---0--0--0-0-0---0---0-0---0--0-0-0-0--|
You'll learn them all by listening and making your own,
they're not so hard to pick up from the song.
This isn't meant to be like a note-by-note holding hands tutorial to happiness,
All of the basic parts are there, practice your own ears and find your own style of play.
This song requires it!
