Do the main riff twice bridge step once
Noel carries main riff on throughout whist
Gem does rhythm (below)
EIs it my imagination'
Or have I F#finally found
ASomething worth living forE
EI was looking for some action
But all I F#found were ACigarettes and AlcohoEl
AYou could wait for a Elifetime
ATo spend you're days in the Esunshine
AYou might as well tell a Ewhite lie
ECos when it Dcomes on toAp
AYou've gotta make it EhappeDn A
AYou've gotta make it EhappeDn A
AYou've gotta make it EhappeDn A
AYou've gotta make it EhappeDn A
D,B7,E
Then repeat main riff

Then Gem breaks back into the rhythm
2.
Is it worth the aggravation'
To find yourself a job
When there's nothing worth working for
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are Cigarettes and Alcohol
You could wait for a lifetime
To spend you're days in the sunshine
You might as well do a white lie
Cos' when it comes on top
You've gotta make it happen
You've gotta make it happen
You've gotta make it happen
You've gotta make it happen
Noels next riff
b------------------
g-1-2-4b-1---------
d----------4b5-0h1-
Repeated several times over
Gem continues with Rhythm
EYou've gotta
You've gotta
You've gotta Amake it
EYou've gotta
You've gotta
You've gotta Afake it
EYou've gotta
You've gotta
You've gotta Amake it
EYou've gotta
You've gotta
You've gotta Afake it
(Then rhythm continues as before E,D,A )
Noel's Last Riff b-------------------------
g-2b3-2b3-2b3-2b3-0-------
d-------------------4b6-2-
The rhythm continues on and ends like the first chorus did with Gem playing D,B7,E
On this live version as this happens Noel continues and breaks into the main riff of 'Whole Lotta Love' by Led Zeppelin
(Whole Lotta' Love)
It goes like this (I think)
(I'm now not sure as to what Gem plays besides Noel)
g---------------------
d-0-02----------0-02-
a-2-2-----------2-2---
e-------000-000------- and so on
Then it turns to this, which isn't how I think Led Zeppelin did it
g----0-------------0---------
d-0-2----------0-2--------
a-2-2-----------2-2----------
e-------000-000------000-300-
This is played as someone I think uses an e-bow
e--------3-2
b-----------
g-2-2s1-0---
g-------3-1---------
d---2-------2-1-----
a-2---2---------3-0-
Gem plays something like this, I'm not sure about it although I do think that it belongs to a G# pentatonic. It's live so they probably made it up as they went along. Just play around with it and it will always sound right.
To finish of somewhere along the string-g, Noel picks 3 times over on this string and progresses up the board although I can't manage to decipher which frets.
The rest of what can be heard is the keyboard - which I can't play very well.
I can now only leave you this quote:
"That's rock'n'roll mister" (Noel after just performing this)
