(Loud slide played at the beginning of the song)
At the start of the song, play the slide and then Fig. 1 twice.
Then start Verse 1: E5 A5 G5
After the final G5 power cord of the verse, slide down to the low
E on the sixth string and start Fig. 1 again, playing it twice and
then continuing on with the second verse: (same chords as first)
The only change is that a new twist is added during the phrase
'all you mother's money spent' it goes something like this:
E-|---------------------------| B-|---------------------------| G-|---------------------------| D-|----7b9--5--------2--------| A-|------------7-----2--------| E-|---------------5--0--------|
After this verse, go back into Fig. 1 with the following lyrics,
and midway through switch to the chords:
(A burning heart could be so cool.
Won't you be my fas[A]hion [Asus4]vic - t[A]im?
C[G]ome on I'm [G]an A[C5]pri[A5]l f[G5]ool for you).
And slide down again into this break:
E-|-----------------------------|---------------------------------| B-|-----------------------------|---------------------------------| G-|--------------------------2--|--7-7h9--------------------------| D-|--------------------------2--|--------10h11-10h11-10h11vvvvvv--| A-|---------7-5--4-----------0--|---------------------------------| E-|-0-0-0-0--------7--5-0-------|---------------------------------|
Improvise over this second measure
six times before going on, with
another guitar improvising over
the next figure:
E-|----------------------| B-|----------------------| G-|----------------------| D-|-2-2--------2-2-------| A-|-0-0--------0-0-------| E-|-----0-3-4------0-3-4-|
After this, we go back to a structure much like verse 1:
Then slide back down into Fig. 1 as before:
And then repeat Fig. 1 six times over the remaining lyrics:
I'm______________ an April fool for you. I'm an April fool
I'm______________ an April fool for you. I'm an April fool
I'm______________ an April fool for you. I'm an April fool
And finish strong on an E5 power chord.
