There are a few places, most notably the pre-chorus, where there are long stretches of the same chord and Gene has a tendency to go crazy when that opportunity arises (just look at the many grace notes in the tab to YOUNG AND WASTED). If Paul didn¥t play it he probably told Gene to tone it down a little. Since the bass plays the same thing on every pass I¥ve let these Figs. get a little long. 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 G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|--15\---------3----------5----------------------------| E|-------0--0-------0--0--------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2 G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|--7\-----------------5h7----7\-----------------5h7----| E|-------0--0-0-0--0-0------0------0--0-0-0--0-0------0-| G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|--7\-----------------5h7\--------3----------5\--------| E|-------0--0-0-0--0-0-------0--0-------0--0------------| Rhythm Fig. 3 G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|--0---0---0--0---------0---0---0--0-------------------| E|---------------------------------------3--------------| G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|--7\-----------------5h7----7\-------------------1----| E|-------0--0-0-0--0-0------0------0--0-0-0--0-0-0------| G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|--0---0---0--0----------0---0---0--0------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|--7\-----------------5h7----7\------------------------| E|-------0--0-0-0--0-0------0------0--0-0-0--0-0-0-3----| G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|--3---3---3--3-------3-3---3---3--3-------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|--5---5---5--5-------5-5---5---5--5\------------------| E|---------------------------------------3--------------| G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|--3---3---3--3-------3-3---3---3--3-------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|--5---5---5--5----------------------------------------| E|-----------------------7----5----3----2---------------| Rhythm Fig. 4 G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|--2---0h2--0h2----------2---0h2--0h2---0--------------| E|------------------------------------------2-----------| < -
