intro: bass guitar riff - notes: E G Bb A G
intro guitar riff:
[Bm] [Bm7] [Bm] [Bm7] [Am] [Am7] [Am] [Am7]
E|-7---7--7--7---7--7---5---5--5--5---5--5---| B|-7---7--7--7---7--7---5---5--5--5---5--5---| G|-7---7--7--7---7--7---5---5--5--5---5--5---| D|-7h9-7--7--7h9-7--7---5h7-5--5--5h7-5--5---| <- play twice A|-9---9--9--9---9--9---7---7--7--7---7--7---| E|-7---7--7--7---7--7---5---5--5--5---5--5---|
at the end of the second time playing the intro riff, a second guitar plays the
following fill:
E|--0---|
B|--9^--|
G|--9^--| <- strum while bending *entire* chord up and down.
D|--9^--|
A|------| E|------|
NOTE: There is no static pattern in Hugh's guitar playing during the verses, in each verse
he plays different fills. I've tried to get each verse as accurate as possible.
