| x  Mute note

Tuning: standard (eBGDAE)



This song is quite repetitive so it doesn't have a lot of different parts
in it. These are the main three variations an works great on a standard
tuning even though I think Mr. Butler plays it on a dobro or at least with
an open tuning/slide. 

Intro/verse/first part of guitar solo:

The intro needs a bit explaining (this is boring I know, sorry. but it will
help you)The song starts off with Mr. Butler hitting the strings wich is
actually somewhat confusing. It gives us the impression that he is
accenting the first beat in the bar, but when the drums comes in you can
hear that it's really the 4th. So beware. The hitting of the muted strings
are marked *
