******************************************************************************
VERSE 1 (0:28-1:22)
-------
4 beats per measure
The verse is basically the INTRO without as much improv.
Here's an idea of the verse. Just add IMPROV, especially to the chords:
E(scale) B A E(note) N.H... (Natural
Harminic)
E|-------------------9----|--7--|--5--|--------------12-| B|------------9------9----|--7--|--5--|-----------12----| G|--------9-9-9h11p9------|--8--|--6--|-----------------| D|---9----9-9-9-----------|--9--|--7--|-----------------| A|---9h11-----------------|--9--|--7--|-----------------| E|-0----------------------|--7--|--5--|--0--------------|

******************************************************************************
ChORUS 1 (1:22- Ahhh Yea!! Can You See Them??... -1:47)
--------
4 beats per chord
The chorus is a strummed chord progression. You can get through
it by playing E(VII), B, A, E(open). This is played twice.
E(VII) B A E
E|-7---------7(9)--5(7)--0----| B|-9---------7-----5-----0----| G|-9---------8(9)--6(7)--1----| D|-9---------9-----7-----2----| A|-7---------9-----7-----2----| E|-----------7-----5-----0----|
I think he might be doing these notes in parentheses within the chords
on
the appropriate beats i.e.
[B] [1] ] [2] ] [3] ] [4] ]
-7---7---7-7-9---7-----7-7-7-7--- -7---7---7-7-7---7-----7-7-7-7--- -8---8---8-9-9---9-----8-8-8-8---
and the same idea with the A chord
AGAIN, it's all improv so deal with these just as guidelines...
******************************************************************************
SOLO(version 1) (1:48 - 2:32)
---------------
4 beats per measure...
In the recording there is only bass to back up the solo...it plays the
notes
for the chorus progression: E(VII), B, A, E
Guitar solo uses EMajor Pentatonic Scale in the 9th position

VERSE 2 (2:30 - 2:57)
-------
Very similar to Verse 1. There's only two measures though bfore he
goes
into CHORUS 2. There is this interesting fill that comes at the first
beat
of the second verse-- it's a slide up to G#:
E|-----------------------| B|-----------------------| G|-----------------------| D|-----------------------| A|----/11---(let ring)---| E|-----------------------| E|------------9---(9)--|--------9---9-7---7-9-7-9-| B|------------9----9---|--------7---7-7---7-7-7-7-| G|------------9h11-9--|----8-8-8-8-8-8---8-8-8-8-| D|---------------------|--------------------------| A|---------------------|--------------------------| E|--0------------------|-7------------------------|

IMPROV!!!!!
*****************************************************************************
CHORUS 2 (2:58 - 3:21)
--------
This would be indentical to CHORUS1 but NO!!! I'm getting scik of
this.
It's basically the same but there's slight variations in the rythm and
also the enhancing notes of the chord. SO FIGURE THEM OUT
YOURSELF!!!(nik)
*****************************************************************************
RESOLUTION PART I (3:22 - 3:48)
-----------------
Okay, here's the resolution of the chorus. You can tell when it
changes to
this because of the change in drum pattern and vocal. The strumming
pattern
here is very regular. The chords changes are also much quicker than
the
chorus. They are as follows when counting EIGHTH notes.
E(VII) 1 2 3
[B]A [1]1 [2]2 [3]3 [4]4 [5]5 6 7 8
*****************************************************************************
RESOLUTION PART II (3:49 - 4:15)
------------------
This part is played over "oooo."

****************************************************************************
OUTRO (4:16 - 5:03)
-----
This part has the most impressive improve of the whole song. I think
it
does this with the wierd slides that it does such as this one that it
starts
off with:

LYRICS: Yellow Ledbetter
-------------------------
On the sea there
On a porch that letter sat
And it said i wanna leave it again
Once i saw him
On a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand i wanna leave it again
On a weekend on a wish it on a way
And they called an i said an i woe and
i said an i call out again
And the reason oughta leave her calm i know
I said i know what i wear that a box or the bag
(CHORUS)
Ah yeah can you see them?
Out on the porch
Yeah, but they don't wave
I see them
Round the front way, yeah
And i know and i know
I don't wanna stay
make me cry (to solo)
I see
I don't know there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
[An]I d[i]on[said]'t - [i]i don't know where there's a box or the bag
Ah yeah can you see them?
Out on the porch
Yeah, but they don't wave
I see them
Round the front way, yeah
And i know and i know
I don't wanna stay at all
I don't wanna stay
I don't wanna stay
I don't wanna stay, I don't noooo
Yeah
OOOHHHH!!!
