LAYOUT: INTRO - A - B - A - B - C - D - A - B - C  


INTRO					00:00-00:05


A SECTION				00:05-00:40

G-----------------------         --------------------	 On the LP, she plays an octave up...
D-----------------------         --------------------
A---15--------8---------         --------------------	 In 2007 she played the lower octave
E-----------------------   or:   ---8--------1-------

B SECTION				00:40-00:52

I'm basing Kim's part off the live version from 2007. I think it's similar to what
she played on the album, but it's hard to tell. It sounds like Jim used some kind
of filter effect for the bass during this section (check out the 2002 Chicago
bandcamp show, Lee's guitar drops out for a second and you can hear it clearly).

G-----------------------------
D---7-*7*-7-*7*-7-*7*-7-*7*---  etc.. she's doing SOMETHING at the 7th fret 
A-----------------------------
E-----------------------------

A SECTION				00:52-01:16

Play 8 times.

B SECTION				01:16-01:38

Play 8 times.

C SECTION				01:39-02:07

G------------------------------
D------------------------------
A------------------------------
E---5--5--5-5-5-7--7-7-7-7-7---  (---8---)    on the 2007 version she adds the 8th fret note

D SECTION				02:08-02:19

I can't hear Kim on the record, on the 2007 version she has her hand at the 7th fret
and it looks like she's picking a harmonic or mute at each chord change.

A SECTION				02:20-02:43

Play 8 times.

B SECTION				02:43-02:54

Play 4 times.

C SECTION				02:54-03:09

Play riff twice.

G-------          -------
D-------          -------
A---6--- (album)  ---3--- (live 2007)
E-------          -------
