Capo: 6 Tuning: E A D G B E
Authors notes: The solo is played on an electric guitar and is quite difficult to make out. I've slowed the track down and written out an equivalent version which can be played with the capo on the 6th fret. In all of the live performances, the guitarist plays a different solo than the record, so this is the best I can figure it out. Also note: In live versions, the capo is sometimes moved up to the 7th fret and the song played in B major. [Chords] A 002220 E5 022400 D5 000230 G6/11 332000 Em* 022003 Note: In live performances, he often plays an A7 instead of an A and an Em instead of an E5. [Intro] E5 [Verse 1]

E5E5 D5D5 A(-> verse 3) [Solo] This is tricky. I had some trouble figuring out which fingers to use at first, so I included the best finger(s) to use under each note. The capo remains on the 6th fret.
1 = index finger 2 = middle finger 3 = ring finger 4 = little finger The solo begins during the last Em chord of the chorus. e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------10-10h13p10----11/13-13-13-13-13-13p11-------11----11h13-14.5pbr13----------| A|----------10h11-11-------------11-------------------------13-13----13-----------------13p11h13-| E|-10h11-11--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 1 4 1 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 1 3 3 1 3 1 3 3 3 3 1 3 e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-6---6-6----6--6-----6--6--6--6--6---6---6-6------6---6---6-------------------------------------6-6-6-6-| G|-6h8-8-8h10-10-10h12-12-12-10-10---8---8---8h10-8---8---8---8-----8--8--------8-----8--8--------8-8-8-8-| D|------------------------------------------------------------10h11-10-11h10----10h11-10-11h10------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------11----------------11---------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 1 1 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------13----13-13-------14----14----14----14----14-| G|-------------------------------------6--6--6-----6--6--------------------------------------------------| D|-11-11/13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-11-10-10h11-11-11/13----13-------13/15----15----15----15----15----| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 3 4 4 3 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|----14----14----14\13----13-13----13-11/13-11-9-9----------------| G|----------------------------------------------6-6--6-------------| D|-15----15----15-------13-------13----11/13-11-6-10-10h11-10-10-8-| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------| 3 2 3 2 3 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 1 1 2 3 2 2 1 1 1 1 2 e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-6-----6-------6---6-6-----6---6-6--6-------6---6-6-----6---6------------6---6-6----| D|-11p10-10h11-8---8---10h11---8---10-10h11-8---8---10h11---8---10-10h11-8---8---10\6-| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 4 3 3 4 1 1 3 4 1 3 3 4 1 1 3 4 1 3 3 4 1 1 3 [Verse 3]
