of cake to tab...

play again verse 1: (picking again)

And then:
A5 B5 D5 E5
e-5-/-7-7-7-7-7-7----5--7-|
B-5-/-7-7-7-7-7-7----6--8-|
G-6-/-8-8-8-8-8-8----7--9-|
D-7-/-9-9-9-9-9-9----7--9-|
A-7-/-9-9-9-9-9-9----5--7-|
E-5-/-7-7-7-7-7-7---------|
then repeat verse 1
on the live version at slane castle john then goes to something like:
(quick strumming and some effect that i can't recognise)
Bm G A F#
e--10---7---9---6---|
B--12---8---10--7---|
G--11---7---9---6---|
D-------------------|
A-------------------|
E-------------------|
play with the above chords the last part:
Bm G
sent to spy on a cuban talent show
A F#
first stop, havana go-go
Bm G
used to make a living man picking the banana
A F#
hooray for havana
G F#
Baby baby make me mambo
G F#
baby baby make me loco
Bm G F#
ohohohoh ohoh ohoh (play twice)
OR you may play the last part of the song normally just by playing over and over verse 1.
if you have 2 guitars try to mix it up a bit.
I hope that this will help out!!! thanx, mike.
