Fig 1) is built around a pedal tone D against which Paul basically descends through the D-major scale. It has been tabbed wrongly on other sites for some reason. In Rhy. Fig 3, there might be a second guitar playing the A and G chords an octave lower but it might also just be the bass. I¥m not sure. No real solo but there is a bunch of cool little fills during the second verse and in the last chorus. I personally love the climbing C-major thing during the interlude (Outro solo). 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 (Let ring throughout) E|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|-------14-------12-------11-------9-------7----| D|--0----------0--------0--------0-------0-------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|-------12-------11-------9-------7-------5-----| D|--0----------0--------0-------0-------0--------| A|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2 E|-----------------------------------------------| B|--3-3-3--------------3-3-3---------------------| G|--2-2-2--------------0-0-0---------------------| D|--0-0-0--------------x-x-x---------------------| A|---------------------3-3-3---------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3 E|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|----------------/9--7--------------------------| D|--3-------------/7--5--------------------------| A|--3--------------------------------------------| E|--1--------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4 E|-----------------------------------------------| B|--3-------------3----------------3----------3--| G|--2-------------2----------------2----------2--| D|--0-------------0----------------0----------0--| A|-------3p-0--3-------0--3p-0--3-------0--3-----| E|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| B|---------------3----------------3--------------| G|---------------2----------------2--------------| D|---------------0----------------0--------------| A|------3p-0--3-------0--3p-0--3-----------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 5 E|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|--3-------------/7--5--------------------------| D|--3-------------/7--5--------------------------| A|--1-------------/5--3--------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 6 E|-----------------------------------------------| B|--3-------------3----------------3----------3--| G|--2-------------2----------------2----------2--| D|--0-------------0----------------0----------0--| A|-------3p-0--3-------0--3p-0--3-------0--3-----| E|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| B|---------------3------------3--------3---------| G|---------------2---------0--------0------------| D|---------------0-------------------------------| A|------3p-0--3---------3--------2---------------| E|----------------------------------------3------| Let ring -
