Itıs kinda tough since itıs mostly bass and piano but what the hell! Iıll give it a shot. Itıs really sketchy right now but it might at least be a start....then again, maybe not! If anyone figures out the bass line, please send it to me!! Intro Piano Riff - Play quite a few times [F#] [C#] [D#] E------------------ B--11----6-----8--- G--11----6-----8--- D--11----6-----8--- A------------------ E------------------ Piano during verse [A#]Comp[C#]a[D#]ny [F#]Always [F]on [C#]the [D#]run E---------------------------------------------------- B--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- G--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- D--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- A---------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------- [A#]Dest[C#]i[D#]ny [F#]Ooooh [F]is the[C#]ris[D#]ing E---------------------------------------------------- B--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- G--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- D--3-----6-----8------11---11-----10------6------8--- A---------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------- suuuunnnnnnn........ E------------------------ B--6--x--6--x--6----8---- G--6--x--6--x--6----8---- D--6--x--6--x--6----8---- A------------------------ E------------------------ Repeat this verse riff as many times as necessary Note* For all these piano parts you may want to just play just the D and G strings. Chorus - I think this actually is a guitar, not a piano!! These chords may not be right, but they seem to fit pretty well.

This leads into the solo.

Hope this sounds ok. The way I like to play it is to set my amp for a fair amount of distortion. For the piano part, I like to use the rhythym pickup but I back the volume off to about 3 and sometimes back off on the tone also. Then for the chorus, I just flip to the treble pickup with max volume and distortion. Good Luck! Steve Throne st94h3xt@post.drexel.edu or sthrone@earthlink.net |
