Neat little ending. The verses are just the initial F#m and B "hammers"
like the opening and the neat little ending.

"I can cry, beg and whine..." (then back to the D5)
the song stays with the F# and B with variations of those endings and
fills above.
the solo is in a F# blues (nothing hard really...just use a lot of
artificial harmonics) the tune just kicks...
i will post more tragically hip. any requests? wheat kings is C - G
and the chorus is D...but i will post a few fills and tricks when i have
time.
