Should that not be to your liking there are two ways to play it on a 4-string. The first is to simply play the Eb¥s in Rhy. Fig 2 an octave above, that is on the 6th fret of the A-string. The other is to tune down 1/2-step and play everything one fret up. That will land the Eb in question on the open E-string. The part in itself is nothing to write home about. Very minimal work to leave sonic space for the keyboards. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum

Fig 1] [Rhy. Fig 2] Out of love, there's nobody around All I hear is the sound of a broken heart Out of time, no more waitin' for you Now the hurtin's through, and a new day starts [Rhy. Fig 3] And I feel a change in my life, I sailed into dark and endless nights And made it alive [Rhy. Fig 4] Everybody's got a reason to live, baby Everybody's got a dream and a hunger inside Everybody's got a reason to live, but it can't be your love [Rhy. Fig 2] Out of touch, with myself for so long Now a feelin' so strong comin' over me Down the line, there's a lesson I've learned You can love and get burned, if it has to be [Rhy. Fig 3] And I see a change in my life, and I'm not alone when I'm strong inside And I realize [Rhy. Fig 4] Everybody's got a reason to live, baby Everybody's got a dream and a hunger inside Everybody's got a reason to live, but it can't be your love [Rhy. Fig 5] [Rhy.
