Rick's part =========== This part is palmuted throughout the song. It is very simple. The more interesting part is played by Alan on bass. But he wrote the song, didn't he?

Verse 3: almost the same as verse 1
                  14x
E||------------------|| It takes 14 bars before the song
B||*----------------*|| is completely faded out.
G||------------------|| Rick alternates these straight
D||-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--|| eights with sixteen notes and
A||*3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-*|| *gallop rhythm. Just improvise.
E||------------------||
* in a gallop rhythm each crotched (quarter note) is divided in one quaver (eight note) and two semi-quavers (sixteenth note), so the rhythm sounds as if you're hearing a horse galloping. Do you have any questions or suggestions? Sent an e-mail to: [email protected]
