Miscellaneous info:
Note: In the transcription of the chorus, the moving parallel thirds
on the 2nd and 3rd strings are the piano part, presented for
information and completeness. I don't mean to suggest that
both parts be played by one guitarist (certainly not when it
gets to the [35576-]).
Tab Special Notations:
----0---- play the open string ('fret zero')
----5---- play fret five
----5~--- play fret five with vibrato
---5/7--- play fret five, slide up to fret seven
---7\5--- play fret seven, slide down to fret five
--8b(9)-- play fret eight, bend the string (at fret eight) to reach
the pitch of fret nine
--b(9)8-- play fret eight already bent to the pitch of fret nine,
unbending until it reaches the normal pitch of fret eight
----h7--- hammer-on to fret seven
----p5--- pull-off to fret five
---/7---- slide up to fret 7 (the starting fret of the slide is
undefined, judge by ear)
---15\--- play fret 15, slide down (the ending fret of the slide is
undefined, judge by ear)
---0h3--- play the open string and immediately hammer-on to fret
three
---7p5--- play fret seven and immediately pull-off to fret five
