This is the overall breakdown. Capoed parts (tab is relative to capo): Guitar 1 - acoustic guitar arpeggio, chords during guitar solo Guitar 2 - sitar fills (Intro) Non-capoed parts (tab is relative to guitar nut): Guitar 3 - harmonica parts (Intro & 2nd Verse) Guitar 4 - electric lead parts (guitar solo high, 3rd verse fills) Guitar 5 - electric lead (guitar solo low) -All parts can be played with the capo on the guitar (as long as you take note of which parts use the nut and which use the capo as the reference point). The exceptions are bars 4, 9, & 10 of Verse 3. In those bars, the notes descend below the capo. (To play them with a capoed guitar, some notes would need to be moved to a different string.) -Some of the fills in Verse 3 were hard to hear clearly, so they may be incomplete or not totally accurate. ^...bend (w=whole tone,s=semi) ~...vibrato hb..hold bend =...hold note r...release bend /...slide up h...hammer on \...slide down p...pull off (This file is the transcriber's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.)
