E ---0----0----0---0-----0----- but, while T is singing, play little bits G#----------------------------- of this figure, especially the one based E ----------------------------- on the 12th fret..... for the chorus, lee plays this with a slide: keep this slide very long G#-----------------------------------13\(3)/8----------- E -----------------------------------13\(3)/8----------- G#---15/17\15----15/17\15---15\13----13\(3)/8----------- E -----------------------------------13\(3)/8----------- G#------------------------------------------------------ E ------------------------------------------------------ right after the slide part ends, lee plays this riff, based on the intro riff G#----19---15------13---12---8-----19---15-----12------ E ----0----0-------0----0----0-----0----0------0------- G#----19---15------13---12---8-----19---15-----12------ E-----0----0-------0----0----0-----0----0------0------- G#----------------------------------------------------- E ----------------------------------------------------- during the jam, lee just does a bunch of crazy slide stuff.... ok, here's the structure of the song....
