this song is in normal tuning (EBGDAE) but if you're
playing along with the record you must tune slightly
sharp (A444 instead of A440)...if you're not playing
along with the record no one will notice.....

there are several different riffs in this vein
that he plays at the beginning of the song and
at the end of each verse... i don't have the record so
I'm not sure where exactly he plays each one (or the
exact content..) but any of these riffs will work after
any verse, so mix'n'match to your hearts content. If
anyone out there knows the exact fingerings please
correct....
