 (n.b. the last bar of the solo I can't decipher yet,
       it sounds like a lot of sloppy random playing
       around the 12th frets of the E and B strings)

       F#               B
I said something better change (x4)


 F# B E (x5)


       F#               B
I said something better change (x8)


F# E G F# (x4) - pause


end on F# with the word 'change!'
