Many versions of this song suggest to play the chorus in an eeeeeasy way that may be
acceptable but I like to play it a little bit differently. It's as easy as the other
versions and it adds "something" to it.
Main riff
G|----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------| A|-55--5-33--3-22-1-11/-------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------|
(/ = slide back to A---5--- and repeat)
Chorus
G|-----------------------------------------------------| D|-0-(0)7-0-----7-0-555/888~---------------------------| A|----------8------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------|
Main riff variation (these are just the same notes of the main riff, but sometimes I
like to play 'em on the E string and right close to the bridge 'cause the sound gets a bit
more aggressive)
G|------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------------| E|-10-10--10-88--8-77-6-66/-----------------------------|
(/ = slide back to E---10--- and repeat)
During the bridge and the end of the song you can also add some "Brian Ritchie's style"
improvisations just foolin' around and hammerin'-on on A and D string between 5th and
7th fret.
