x muted string (goes ‘thunk’).
Notes:
This is played on a clean electric, standard tuning.
I’ve spent ages trying to get the intro right, and I’m
pretty sure it’s accurate (yes, it’s all my own work).
In places, there’s a rest just when you think you ought
to play something, and in others, you play something
when you feel you shouldn’t. Listen to the CD carefully,
and see.
Also, some of the bends are really quick, and some are
quite slow. The rythmn is a little erratic too, so have
patience with this.
The verse are mostly empty, and then at the end of the
line, James playes some little riff or other. I’ve
omitted all the space, but you should be able to tell
where all this fits. I hope all this is clear.

Special thanks to Sarah, without whom you wouldn’t be
