And it's a good one. There are some beautiful dissonances here, especially in Rhy. Fig 5 and Rhy. Fig 7. These have tended to be overlooked in other tabs on the net as has the fact that there are two guitars playing during the pre- chorus. I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that Paul did this solo. There are a few things here that showed up in his lead playing on his solo album. And, of course, that wide vibrato. As per request I've put the chord names over the arpeggiated clean parts. Don't know how much that helps in this case though. The chords are easy but tend to get some ugly names. To name them I've discounted the apparent root notes played by the bass so that the names reflect only what is played by the guitar (since that is the reason for putting chord names in in the first place). 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 Rhythm Fig. 1 (clean electric) Emadd9 Em6add9 (no root) E|------------------------------------------| B|-----------0------------------0-----------| G|--------0-----0------------0-----0--------| D|-----4-----------4------4-----------4-----| A|----------------(2)--3--------------------| E|--0---------------------------------------| Em+6add9 (no root) Em6add9 (no root) E|------------------------------------------| B|-----------0------------------0-----------| G|--------0-----0------------0-----0--------| D|-----4-----------4------4-----------4-----| A|--4------------------3--------------------| E|------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2 (clean electric) Am7 G6/B E|-----------0------------------0-----------| B|--------------1------------3-----3--------| G|--------0--------0------0-----------0-----| D|-----2------------------------------------| A|--0------------------2--------------------| E|------------------------------------------| Am7 G6/B E|-----------0------------------0-----------| B|--------1-----1------------3-----3--------| G|-----0-----------0------0-----------0-----| D|------------------------------------------| A|--0------------------2--------------------| E|------------------------------------------| < - - - - - - - - - 2x - - - - - - - - - > Am7 E|-----------0------------------------------| B|--------1-----1---------------------------| G|-----0-----------0------------------------| D|------------------------------------------| A|--0---------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3 (clean electric) N.C.
