INTRO:
"Sidewalk blind, an old tin cup,
Lookin down I can't look up
Long gone ain't comin back
It's later than I want it to be
And long cold nights without much sleep
Miss you babe

SOLO!
Note: Joe Satriani is using an octave pedal here, but I don't know whether he's playing
the lower octave and combining it with an octave higher on the pedal, or playing the
Solo on the higher octave and combining the pedal at an octave lower...or maybe he's
doing something else and I'm just wrong :/ haha. But I figured this out by ear to sound
like the
Same effect as the solo if you blend it with an octave down:
