[chorus]
Performance Notes:
1. tambourine
onehit on the 2-beat starts at line 3 and continues during
the verses
double-time accent 3 during chorus and solo
2. drums:
ride shimmer between line 4 and 5
enter at first chorus
don't play during last verse (shimmer accents only)
play ride on bell during chorus
3. vocal harmonies
first chorus on "if the sun comes up tomorrow"
all other choruses over "let her {cry/see/go}" and
"if the sun comes up tomorrow"
4. lead guitar
arpeggiates chords during chorus
play accents over last verse (wailing emotion, feedback
effects, etc)
classic Marshall/LesPaul sound
5. all
in the chorus after the solo and the last chorus, the last
two lines are played with reduced dynamnics - no drums,
no strum, no tamb - just easing down.
