verse clean
"Lay beside me, tell me what they've done"

This is played on a Fender Telecaster with a B-bender (same as Ronnie).
It will be difficult to play exactally right without one. (I don't have one either)
Instead of the 3h5 he's actually able to bend the B string (hence the name) up a full
step.  I'd like to play one some day just to see how it works.  (It has to do with
the strap button and is connected to a pulley at the bridge)

"Come lay beside me" (second verse)
played with echo and chorus.

At the end of the song they play the chorus riff from "The Unforgiven" (1)
The only difference is now it's flat instead of regular tuning.
