Intro:
Fast, sloppy strumming: D|--/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-------------------| B|--/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-------------------| G|--/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-------------------| D|--/12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------|
Carry on strumming furiously on the 12th fret as the piano does its intro then slide
the 12th and then immediately and dramatically down to nowhere in particular:
Repeat 6 times: D|--/12\---------------------------------------------| B|--/12\---------------------------------------------| G|--/12\---------------------------------------------| D|--/12\---------------------------------------------| G|--/12\---------------------------------------------| D|--/12\---------------------------------------------|
Verse Riff:
D|--------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------| G|---5/7\5--00-2/3-2/3-0-000------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------|
Or:
D|--------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------| G|---5/7\5--00-2/3-2/3-0-000------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------|
Or:
D|---5/7\5--00-2/3-2/3-0-000-------------------------| B|---5/7\5--00-2/3-2/3-0-000-------------------------| G|---5/7\5--00-2/3-2/3-0-000-------------------------| D|---5/7\5--00-2/3-2/3-0-000-------------------------| G|---5/7\5--00-2/3-2/3-0-000-------------------------| D|---5/7\5--00-2/3-2/3-0-000-------------------------|
Alternate between these three as you see fit, they're all basically the same thing and
aiming for a loose feel anyway.
Chorus ("When I'm around" part):
D|---3h5-55--555-------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------|
Again, vary it a bit by playing this phrase anywhere where you can hammer an F to a G.
Solo:
D|--/12-12-12-12-12\---/12-12-12-12-12\--------------| B|--------------------------------------/12-12-------| G|--------------------------------------------12-12\-| D|---------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------| B|--/12-12\----/12\---12-12\-12\----12-12\-12-12\----| G|----------10-------------------10------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------|
This one's all in the phrasing, so just about impossible to notate clearly here. Just
your own: all the strings at the 10th and 12th frets are in key so just go nuts.
End with: D|--2s3-2s3-0----------------------------------------| B|--2s3-2s3-0----------------------------------------| G|--2s3-2s3-0----------------------------------------| D|--2s3-2s3-0----------------------------------------| G|--2s3-2s3-0----------------------------------------| D|--2s3-2s3-0----------------------------------------|
A very easy song, and one where you don't need to worry about getting it exactly like
record since Rich is playing very loose anyway. Enjoy.
