Helter skelter YeahSo much for verses and choruses. The rest are pretty much the same,
except that the rest of the verses hit the G chord a little sooner
(at the beginning of the third line of the verse).
Here's the guitar solo in the middle:
E A E -|----------------------7--7--15b(17)--15b(17)--b(17)15-------------| -|----------------------0--0----------------------------------------| -|----------------------9--9----------------------------------------| -|------------------------------------------------------------------| -|------------------------------------------------------------------| -|------------------------------------------------------------------| 'Cos here she comes A E -|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| -|--b(17)15b(17)15---------------13b(14)------------------b(17)15-----------| -|------------------b(14)12---------------b(14)12b(14)12-----------12-------| -|---------------------------14----------------------------------------14~--| -|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| -|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Later, there's a neat riff in one of the last verses. I think it
comes right after "will you won't you want me to make you" or something
like that. This is a cool riff with that looonnnng slide.
-|--12--15b(17)--b(17)15--12------12----------------------------------------| -|----------------------------15------15\10-----10b(12)--b(12)10--8---------| -|-------------------------------------------9-----------------------7--9---| -|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| -|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| -|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
As the song fades into the first ending, there are some nice bend releases,
while the lyrics repeat "coming down fast":
-|--b(17)15------------------------------------------------------------| -|-----------b(17)15---------------------------------------------------| -|--------------------b(16)14------------------------------------------| -|-----------------------------b(14)12---------------------------------| -|--------------------------------------b(14)12------------------------| -|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
