Some of the bass line has been incorporated into the main guitar part. -The chords above the staff are a second guitar part. In video footage of this song, it looks like these are the chord forms Chrissie Hynde uses for this strummed part: G C D G E ----3----|----8----|----10----| |----15----| B ----3----|----8----|----10----| This 2nd G chord |----15----| G ----x----|----x----|-----x----| is used for the |-----x----| D ----x----|----x----|-----x----| first 4 bars of |-----x----| A ----2----|----7----|-----9----| the Bridge: |----14----| E ----3----|----8----|----10----| |----15----| h...hammer on =...hold note or choird p...pull off /...slide up o o...repeat the bars between the symbols (This file is the transcriber's own work and represents their interpretation of the song.)
