Here's the main harmony for guitar. It can be played within barre chords for an interesting solo piece: Bm A G F# E-2----------5----------3----------2-------5------- B-323232323--5----------3----------2-------5------- G-4--------4-656565656--434343434--3232323-6565656- D-4----------7--------7-5--------5-4-------7------- A-2----------7----------5----------4-------7------- E------------5----------3----------2-------5------- OUTRO SOLO: This sounds like an improvised solo. It's quite hard to transcribe these because they're all about feeling. There's lots of manic bending and lengthy bends. He also uses a delay pedal to give it that 'daydreamy' effect. The solo is basically in Bm: Delay E-------------------------------------------------------- B--12B-79-10-10B-17B-17B--------------------------------- G-7----------------------------------------------16B-16B- D------------------------799-89-11-12-14-12-14-16-------- A-------------------------------------------------------- E-------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- CHORDS: EADGBE ------ G 320033 D XX0232 Bm X24432 Bm7 X24232 E 022100 A X02220 F# 244322 Bm/A X04432
