| Comment: |
Piano intro, a few drum hits, then guitar solo around verse chords (lick 1*) * lick 1 = E D B A G E E (octave lower) * lick 2 = A B D B G D E Notes: <E5> may be <E> maj or <E> min, it isn't clear. The rythm plays <E5> and the solo sometimes plays major 3rd sometimes minor 3rd. Also, the its not clear if the <Em7> is an <Em7> or a <G> with an <E> in the bass. I find that these ambiguities are part of the appeal of the song. |
